I don't see my backup in the restore menu after copying the vault.tar file to /home/nemo. I've tried to use "Restore from memory card" using an OTG cable, but it doesn't see it there either. How can you restore on the Nexus 5 if it doesn't have a sd card slot? Is there a way restore the SailfishOS backup vault.tar file without using the restore app, but perhaps via CLI?

edit: I just figured it out. From CLI:
Code:
 tar xvf vault.tar
Then go back to Settings > Backup and I can now see my backup.

It didn't restore my customized Ambiences. Seriously? Customizing the sounds on each Ambience is a PTA. That's the main reason I did a backup.
