Google can delete Android backups if your phone remains inactive for two months

Do you switch from one smartphone to another frequently? You are perhaps careful about backing up everything on the cloud, to ensure that your key details such as contacts, messages, photos and videos remain intact. 

But what if you switched to another Android phone with a newer account, and forgot to take backup from the older phone? Or from an Android to an iPhone, and never used the older phone? Here's something you should know: Google can automatically delete Android backup for devices that have remained "inactive" for two months.
