Could not start service com.apple.mobilebackup2.

Error using idevicebackup2 backup --full --password 'xxxx': Could not start service com.apple.mobilebackup2.
Is this caused for something I should have installed and I didn't or is a problem caused by an Apple recent change?
Running a MacBook Pro (Intel), macOS Sonoma and the connected iPhone is 13 Pro Max running iOS 17.3
Thanks!
