First i tried to "Updated Backup". A nice looking Circle spin shows it is working through contacts, apps and so on, but ends with an error it could not write or something.
But it created a 320Mb Backup tar file on the Btrfs SD nevertheless, so i copied this file to a new ext4 sd and plugged into C.
Restore did not work from this file as expected, an error was thrown.
Now i tried to backup from 2.0.2.45 Tablet to ext4 SD. Error.
I ended up reformating the SD in different machines and tried again, no luck.
Also i could not update the local backup in .vault. The ui always cried for an SD to be present to backup to.
I have not tried FAT SD, should i?
There is a TJC entry that says that the J1 needs to be at 2.0.2 to be able to create a backup that will restore on the JC. I'm not on the early access for my J1 yet (probably will sign up now that I'm using the JC as my main phone atm), so haven't tried it. I'll give it another go as soon as it is.
