What it does
This package is Android's backup agent for wallpapers. During a device backup it copies your home and lock screen wallpaper images and their crop and live wallpaper details, and during a restore it puts them back. It has no app label, so Settings shows the package name, and it runs only during backup and restore.
Also shown as Wallpaper Backup.
If you disable it
Your wallpaper is left out of backups, so a new or reset phone starts with the default wallpaper.
How to disable it
