Google backup seems not to be working on my Nexus 4 with CM11 (snapshot M9). I've the Google Apps installed (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip), but when I try to list the transports, here's what I get:

$ adb shell bmgr list transports
  * android/com.android.internal.backup.LocalTransport

Is this expected?

Under Settings -> Backup & reset I find this screen

  • I have never, ever installed cyanogenmod over the last few years without something weird happening, bugs and missing features.

  • You installed a gapps package that's intended for Jelly Bean. Of course it won't work (correctly). Anyway, I recommend using PA-GApps if you ever do a clean install in the future. It works with pretty much any custom ROM, it's up to date, and very customizable.

I think this issue is ROM related, the .BackupTransportService should be there. I've checked the list on a similar setup (LG Optimus G, CM11 20140813 nightly)

bmgr list transports
  * com.google.android.backup/.BackupTransportService
    android/com.android.internal.backup.LocalTransport

Have you tried newer CM versions?

Just to let you know that my issue seems resolved installing the latest gapps package suggested by Cyanogenmod wiki: gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip.

I followed these steps:

  1. download zip
  2. copy to /sdcard/
  3. reboot in recovery
  4. install zip
  5. reboot device

During the first boot the device asked me for a backup account, but in the Settings I had still Backing up to debug-only private cache.

Then I set the new backup transport with

$ adb shell bmgr transport com.google.android.backup/.BackupTransportService

Without problems.
