Google service framework (gsf) is part of the ignored packages, that are there to avoid breaking the system by users which don't have much understanding.
It's editable in /data/data/com.machiav3lli.backup/files/assets/plugin/ignored_packages.internal_regex
Thank you for your quick reply.
There wasn't a "plugin" sub-directory in the assets directory.
But there was a "tar_BACKUP EXCLUDE" file in the assets folder and I tried to removed the line "com.google.android.gms.appid.xml" from that file, but I still don't see the play services package in the app list. I also tried clearing the cache for NB and still can't see it.
I would prefer not to upgrade to the latest NEO backup version due to some changes I didn't like in a newer version - and besides my current version 8.3.4 has been working great! :)
So, if there is a way I can see the play services modules in my version so I can back it up/restore it, I would greatly appreciate that.
Ah, I didn't look much into the version your're using. That version didn't have the plugins strcuture and ignored packages were hard coded…
