Gmail a/c and mybackup help - I'm an idiot!

    Discovered that mother-in-law had never set up a gmail a/c for her HTC Wildfire and couldn't download apps, so I used my gmail to show her how to use Google Play, thinking I could just remove my a/c from the phone and set up one for her later. D'oh:o Realised that the only way I could remove mine was to do a reset, so I backed up her stuff to my Mybackup pro and reset the phone.

    So, now she has her own gmail a/c synced to her phone, but all of her data is on my back up, linked to my gmail....aaagh! If I get her to buy Mybackup, can she then access and restore the info from mybackup a/c? Or should I sync my gmail with her phone, re-download mybackup and restore and will I be able to fully remove my gmail afterwards seeing as it isn't the default a/c?

    Any help greatly appreciated!

    I very much doubt it, it would be a huge security breach

    I don't know how your going to split the joined data, only thing you can probably do is delete everything in your gmail (cloud) and then-resync it with your phone that's if you haven't already synched your phone. Best of luck.

    You see I'm not sure if the data is joined. Would the new back up have replaced my old one? I gave it a different name and password.
