Here's some useful news. Google deletes all backups stored in an Android device if the device remains inactive for sixty days continuously. Google's automatic deletion policy has been around for a while but it is known only to a very few of its users.
Any information stored on Google drive gets automatically deleted if the Android device is kept inactive for two months continuously. The user is sent an alert once when the Android device is kept unused after a period of fourteen days.
If the user fails to use the device even after the warning all backups get deleted. Once deleted there will be no option to retrieve back the information. All stored data, documents, settings, apps among other things will be lost forever.
While many other storage companies also follow a similar policy, it is only Google that does not provide prior information about the deletion policy to the users.
So for the users, the only solution to prevent such a mishap is to log on periodically to the device or to make prior backups for relevant information.
