Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a go. It's a minor inconvenience and not really a deal breaker for me. Still kind of annoying though. Anyone else have any experience in making this work more consistently?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 
Can anyone explain how to do a local backup of contacts, calendar etc on nexus 5?

I am perfectly fine with using ssh/rsync for backing up .vault to pc, but if I understand correctly you need to create a backup from settings->backup->create before the backup is stored in .vault. Correct?

The problem is that the backup menu requires either a SD card or a cloud storage provider to be able to create a backup. I am not a big fan of cloud storage so using dropbox or onedrive is not an option and since the nexus 5 doesn't have a SD card slot I am out of options for creating the backup.

I guess it would be possible to backup $HOME, but I would prefer a specific backup file which can be used to restore from the menu.

Edit: Using SFOS 2.0.4.13

I refer to this post, I made some time ago, where I described my way to do backup/restore. http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=238

For Contacts/Calendar
Code:
devel-su pkcon install nemo-qml-plugin-contacts-qt5-tools
devel-su -p vcardconverter --export contacts.vcf
Code:
pkcon install nemo-qml-plugin-calendar-qt5-tools
devel-su -p icalconverter export calendar.ics

In general I recommend using and following 'the other' Nexus 5 thread... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96932

minimec's methdod is the only solution for now, don't know how we can emulate an sd card. you can do complete sfos backups using multirom and tar or copy commands.

Wouldn't it be possible to change the mount scripts of the SDcard to mount an USB stick instead?

This is already done by kimmoli, called 'USBStick utils' on openrepos. Personally i have big issues as usb sticks directly freeze my Nexus 5 and i have to connect to a charger, otherwise i can't reboot. This issue is not related to the os.

I tried to install it, but if i plug in an usb stick with the cable adapter nothing happens. Sailfish 2.0.1.1 over CM 12.
Hints?

What should happen? If i remember correctly, you could choose the usb stick from filemanager etc or directly cd to the mountpoint.

The stick gets mounted in the /media directory.
