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
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.
