-/**
- * Helper class to facilitate EmailProvider's account backup/restore facility.
- *
- * Account backup/restore was implemented entirely for the purpose of recovering from database
- * corruption errors that were/are sporadic and of undetermined cause (though the prevailing wisdom
- * is that this is due to some kind of memory issue). Rather than have the offending database get
- * deleted by SQLiteDatabase and forcing the user to recreate his accounts from scratch, it was
- * decided to backup accounts when created/modified and then restore them if 1) there are no
- * accounts in the database and 2) there are backup accounts. This, at least, would cause user's
- * email data for IMAP/EAS to be re-synced and prevent the worst outcomes from occurring.
- *
- * To accomplish backup/restore, we use the facility now built in to EmailProvider to store a
- * backup version of the Account and HostAuth tables in a second database (EmailProviderBackup.db)
- *
- * TODO: We might look into having our own DatabaseErrorHandler that tries to be clever about
- * determining whether or not a "corrupt" database is truly corrupt; the problem here is that it
- * has proven impossible to reproduce the bug, and therefore any "solution" of this kind of utterly
- * impossible to test in the wild.
