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

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

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