  Thanks for your information. It might come in handy if I ever
encounter any such apps.

  FWIW, I'm not worried about my banking apps not being allowed/able to
backup their data, because any relevant data can most likely be
recovered from my accounts on the banks servers. I.e. if lost, the
on-device data is recoverable.

  N.B. It would be interesting to know if other computer programs - such
as Samsung's 'Smart Switch' - also honor the manifest settings, but
given my above mentioned low interest, I don't think I will try.
