If you've installed libimobiledevice in Ubuntu, the library "libimobiledevice.so.4" is expected to be installed in /usr/local/lib. I think that path is not in your $PATH variable. You can check it from a shell with:
echo $PATH
If your $PATH doesn't contain "/usr/local/lib", try this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
You can add this line to your $HOME/.bashrc, so you don't need to type it anymore before using idevicebackup2 or any other libimobiledevice tools.
After that, this should work:
idevicebackup2 backup bk -

- State changed from “new” to “invalid”
- Tag set to “idevicebackup2, libimobiledevice”
- Assigned user set to “Martin S.”
- Milestone set to “1.2.0 Release”
@Bilson: Thanks for the explanation. @r0941703960: If you configure the sources with "./configure --prefix=/usr", you won't have to deal with it. But as Bilson already described, the tool you are using is unable to locate the correct library most likely due to the paths missing.
Closing as this is not a bug in libimobiledevice.
