Help Backup and Restore app - frustrated as can't backup apps

I noticed that when the JB 4.1.2 update came along, the stock Backup and Restore app could not backup apps and their data anymore. When I click the drop down arrow next to apps, eveything is greyed out and it reads "Could not be backed up:"

This is annoying as there are some apps I wish to backup and I am not rooted. Are there any solutions for this?

Many thanks
 
Do any 3rd party apps work? My favorite was App Backup & Restore, until I got my xperia. The app would not recognize that I have an SD card, and thus couldn't back up. Poo. :(
The stock app backup did work for me, however.
Maybe it's opposite for you?
Sorry if I'm not very helpful, but it's worth a try. :p
You would lose your data, though....
