Here is the link to google's nexus 5x forum concerning this issue that I just posted.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/ekWQc6FVWao;context-place=forum/nexus
I have went through pain since the Oreo update and this may be related as I finally figured out a way around it.
I decided to revert back to Nougat from Oreo on my Nexus 5x.
I signed in and attempted to use the restore from the cloud backup. It didn't work. I saw the same message in my drive as well "disabled by admin". Well the admin is google since this is my personal drive.
So I tried with lineage 14.1 same issue. Reset phone 8 different times and tried the Los workarounds. Nothing worked.
I just said what the hell and installed 7.1.2 stock, then upgraded to oreo and then factory reset.
Did the initial setup and the restore from cloud option was there and it allowed me to restore from the drive backup.
So Google did something to only allow oreo to restore from the drive backup.
I am now fixing to root and use "my backup pro" to backup everything and reflash back to nougat.
I hope this helps anyone who is having this issue.

Hey guys,
Wanted to try and find out whether anyone else is experiencing issues with Google Play Services (9.4.52) crashing after upgrading to Nougat OTA?
I thought I may have a botched install so tried the following:
- Cleared cache
- Reset and didn't restore from backup
- Reset and only installed stock apps
- Safe mode
- Cleared Google Play Services data
- Unsubscribed from all Google beta testing apps
I still can't figure this one out, even after a hard reset back to stock it still kicks up a play services crash about once ever 10-20 minutes... very weird... and frustrating
Anyone else had this issue? Or got any suggestions?
I had the exact same problem after accepting OTA yesterday via the beta program. I was on 6.0.1 on my 6P (no root, no custom rom, locked boot-loader). All Google Apps and Services crash including Messenger (SMS). I performed a hard reset with no luck. I flashed OTA with no luck. Only solution was to unlock boot-loader, flash recovery, and go back to stock. I will try again today.

Will try that method instead, the crashes have died down again but I can't find any correlation between specific apps and what's causing the crashes! If I find a solution I'll post.
I think there may be a problem with the final release. It seems Google pulled 7.0 from their factory images site. I downloaded 7.0 for nexus 6, 6P and 9 earlier today and only the download for the Nexus 9 is still available. I don't know which version is giving you a problem but on the Nexus 6P Google earlier posted version MTC20F. I was going to flash it this evening but I think I'll wait and see what version they post back to the factory image site.
Google has finally posted the OTA and Full ROM images for 7.0. Both have the exact same problem on my 6P. All Google Services and Apps crash and the phone reboots randomly (often). I am at a loss. Obviously issues exist with 7.0 and 6P. Google seriously needs to address this non-sense.
Guys I am running stock 1.80.651.10 ROM on Sprint with the latest September security update. I did a factory reset and I manually updated the ROM to the latest version (I did the latter as instructed by HTC support). Under Settings, Backup & reset, the Backup account is still grey and shows "No account is currently storing backed up data". As a result, when I did a factory reset, Google didn't even give me the option to restore my account from a previous HTC 10 device backup. I have to setup everything from scratch again. I contacted HTC support and the rep told me this:
"The back up option is under maintenance at the moment. This is why you can't access to it. If you performed all those troubleshooting steps and they didn't work. What I recommend is that you try another backup options while we solve this problems for our customers."
This is obviously a software / firmware bug. Anyone else seeing this?
Same exact problem with mine and my wifes new HTC 10's.
It's a known bug. OMJ came up with a solution. Check his badboyz thread

Hello All!
Before you tell me to search or check threads, I already have. This problem does not have anything to do with forgetting to disable the pins and fingerprints before backing up. My problem has do do with I have already disabled/removed security before backing up my nandroid. I check/select everything that I can to backup and it successfully completes. When I go to restore, everything looks to be properly restored, but alas, there is a problem. When I reboot, it asks me for a password to get into TWRP (apparently "default_password). But when I get in and go to file explorer to find anything, my entire storage is wiped. Like no OS or any files. The only other issue I've had besides this is when restoring a nandroid, it doesn't complete and reboots to a bootloop.
I am on the newest version of TWRP, 3.0.3-0. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I, and anyone who has had to redo the complete phone setup/customization, do not enjoy taking over an hour to get things back up and running. Cruddy thing is I did a Titanium Backup for my apps and settings, but they got wiped.

I am genuinely interested in this because I back up on a regular basis after each security update but I have never had to restore. Now it is my understanding that even if security is disable the data is still encrypted. Perhaps I'm wrong about that but if you ever did have a password or pin to log into the phone with have you tried to enter that into TWRP?

You only need to back up the defaults... system, data, and boot.
What should I back up in TWRP?

I understand the web is full of opinions, but I've read somewhere to backup EFS? I have also read somewhere before that what you said to backup, while is plenty sufficient, if you have space, to backup everything. I followed that and it lead me to an hour plus of restoring back to how it was. I will give it a go, hoping that I never have to use it, but it will work when the situation arises.
I've only ever backed up those three partitions, and never had an issue with restoring backups. You can certainly create a backup of the EFS/IMEI, but keep it stored in a safe place like on your computer or a thumb drive. One thing I should note is when restoring a backup, make sure to also flash the correct vendor.img if necessary.
I usually backup vendor with it but as earlier indicated I don't believe it's completely necessary. As far as EFS is concerned yes I would agree with backing that up however what I do is back it up to a separate backup folder and only write it if something were to ever happen to it otherwise leave it alone. That way you don't take a chance I'm corrupting something in that partition.

I've never successfully restored a backup on the Nexus 6P regardless of what version of TWRP I used. Different builds of TWRP give me different problems but none has ever worked. I've completely given up doing nandroid backups on this phone because it's a waste of time and disc space. I never had a similar issue on any other phone that I have ever owned and am not a newbie when it comes to rooting and custom roms. What I always ended up doing after a problem restoring a backup is flash the complete factory image using the flash-all.bat command and start over with everything I want to flash.

I have the same problem, so now I've started doing a TiBU and Verizon Messages backup, after all those are completed, transfer and save it to my PC. If I have any problems, I transfer from the PC to phone and it's less headache... kinda sorta.
Restore never worked to the fullest. I tried different versions of TWRP, same problem. Restore starts a red error line in beginning of the restore process an at the end it shows ‘Restore complete’. When I restart, everything looks restored but with bugs like:
-network or sim itself is not shown
-Bluetooth, wifi wont connect
-Quicksetting tiles not responding etc…
The idea of backing up via TWRP is to get every bit RESTORED properly, but it doesn’t work.
I take a full back up before moving to update the firmware version (example MIUI 10), if I do not like the firmware then I want to go back to the previous firmware version (example MIUI 9) and TWRP RESTORE feature never works. I have to again flash the rom and then restore everything via Titanium backup.
I always take a TWRP backup of all the items available:
System
Data
Cache
Cust
Recovery
Boot
EFS
Persist
Still it never restores properly. It’s a mere time waste or the restore option to be removed from TWRP as it never worked across of its versions.
Can anyone explain me in a line, what is Cust, EFS and Persist?
I really appreciate if anyone help me understand where I’m going wrong.
Hey,
In the settings, backup and reset, suddenly the feature to automatically backup is greyed out. I encountered this after I factory resetted and came back to an 11 day old backup. Logged in with Google account, check boxes are ticked, the feature to choose an account to backup though, is greyed out?
Factory reset didn't help, everything sync wise is on.
I'm on stock OOS 4.5.5, elementalX 1.04, Magisk root.
Should I flash something like Gapps file? I used this on a Galaxy S3 with AOSP ages ago.. But idk if it's safe to do in this situation.. Because factory reset isn't working the bug is within the stock Gapps I think.
Thanks!

Had the same issue, strange to say but after installed Google drive on the pc, connected the op5 and choose to backup it as suggest from Google drive on pc made the trick. Now I can see my phone backup and the phone update it regularly. Hope this could help. In any case weird, I never had this issue with any of my previous android phones.
I have a V20 with Lineage 18.1 and am looking for something that can backup and restore the whole phone. The other day I tried to update Lineage and it downloads it, but when I hit Update, it restart and just display and android icon, and "No Command". Any ideas why this happens? So I download it to a folder and go into TWRP manually and tried to update, but the zip check failed and I was left with no option but to reset. Which means I have to spend hours reloading everything and going over every system setting. I really need a faster way to load an image to the phone, both for situations like that, and in case the phone is lost, so I can load the image to a backup V20.
I have tried everything I can find:
TWRP: may work for restoring to same phone, but not for a different one, even the same model.
CloneIT: Have tried a dozen times, but the receiver never sees the sender hot spot
Titanium Back Pro: Have tried it a few times, but have never succeeded in getting the whole phone back. I'm using Magisk 22 to root, then I put on Titanium, then I try to restore, but it doesn't work.
Google 1 (Google Drive built-in Backup): I tell it to restore a backup and it says it's doing it, and to complete setup of my phone, so I do. When done, I see it is restoring my applications.
I have a Mi A2 with Lineage 18.1 and I have the same question. Did you ever figure out a solution? With my LG G7 I can make partition image backups with the QFIL tool but for this device, I haven’t found a way to make images of full partitions for a real backup that can be reflashed. I think the most viable option is TWRP which I think is still installed on my device.
