That is of course true, you'll always have to do something. But like you said sometimes it’s not even clear that you did “something”. I think if they were clever they would either allow for online backup of all data or at least get rid of that monolithic database. Having databases that can potentially grow in size beyond what the device and rest of the OS can actually handle has always been a dumb idea (I'm looking at you, Windows registry).
