Backup function doesn't work. When pressing backup symbol in settings it opens but shortly phone gives a message "settings is not responding" and nothing happens. Is there an alternative way to backup your phone eg. via terminal? I need to do factory reset due to unstable sailfish OS but need to perform backup first.

I have the Björnträsket 1.1.7.27 but this issue raised long before this update and suddenly.

@larry: Next time please use the search function first :-) As you can there are duplicated like: https://together.jolla.com/question/76294/backup-not-possible-application-is-not-responding/ and https://together.jolla.com/question/50889/backup-could-not-load/

I hope backups work again after the given answer by @Eminem.

You're right. After quick search couldn't find the answer.

Go to /home/nemo/.vault and remove the vault.lock file.

That's the right answer. You need a File browser (available on Jolla store) and activate "show hidden files" to see the .vault folder. You could also use "Sailfish Utilities" to fix it.

Thank you guys! It worked and THIS forum really works. You can get the answer

Thanks. The solution is (still) valid also in a more recent versions (e.g. 2.0.2).
