A feature I've found very handy on other applications that need backup functionality is to backup and restore to a user's dropbox account. The application chooses a space within the user's dropbox account to backup to and asks for permission to access the user's dropbox account. Then, it is trivial to share backups between devices. For instance, I find it easier to edit/add books on my tablet .. but I don't take my tablet with me to the book store; I take my phone. Moving things over via email or sd card works, but being able to do it automagically via dropbox would be much more convenient.

For an example of this, see Kuffs Password Safe (or one of the many other password lockers out there on the android market)
