Magento code and a database backup are by default disabled in v1.9.4.0.You can re-enable it by any one of the following methods.
1.Change false to true in the config > modules > Mage_Backup > active setting of app/etc/modules/Mage_All.xml. 2.From the Admin, change the System > Configuration > Advanced > Disable Modules Output > Mage_Backup from disabled to enabled.
app/etc/modules/Mage_all and setting <Mage_Backup><active>false</active> to <active>true</active> and enabling the backup module in system->configuration->Advanced-> Mage_Backup set to active.
It works now, but why...on earth do you want to do this?

Well probably because he wants to do backups, so do I .. Or is there any reason you don't recommend using Magento's built-in backups? Did you have any negative experience in the past?
I was refering to the developement team of Magento for disabeling backup functionality in M1 and M2. It's extra work just to activate it again and I don't agree with this step.
