   That's irrelevant in the context "what does the operating system provide".

   Sure - but "using a backup app" is not using what Android itself is   
   providing.   
      
   Google also provides a backup feature in Android itself which also   
   allows to transfer data from one device to another when you switch   
   devices. But as I also explained: APK files are not included, because   
   not every APK file will work on every device, since APK files are device   
   specific packages and not universal installers. Most of the time it   
   works, but there is no guarantee for it and it is much safer to   
   reinstall apps on a new device by downloading it again, so always the   
   correct version will be used.

   I did not try to make anything. I just explained, how ANDROID ITSELF works.
