Android auto backup error

Question

I\'m trying to implement android auto backup (Android 6.0) but it doesn\'t work.

I get the same error with

I encountered the same issue with the legal text.

According to the doc :

Note: To protect user privacy, the device user must have opted in to Google services for Auto Backup to work. The Google services opt-in dialog appears when the user goes through the Setup Wizard or configures the first Google account on the device.

The problem was that I never saw this dialog. So I cleared all the data of Google play services, disabled it, enabled it again and opened the Play Store app. I had to add my account and at the end of the process, the dialog appeared.

Then, don't forget to update Google Play Services to the last version else you won't have a backup account assigned. At the end of the update, you should be able to execute the command adb shell bmgr fullbackup <PACKAGE> properly.
