[2.0.2.43]Why can't make backups without SD card?
Some users do not use SD card. But they can still make a backup to phone memory and then move it to the other place if need. So why new version of 2.0.2.43 not allow to make backups without SD card?
We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.

With my Dropbox account added
Backup added to Dropbox
Backup (tar.gz) file in Dropbox
A bit long winded, but at least the backup is OFF the device, as it wold be with a memory card. Personally, I think this is a better system than previously, but there is much polishing to be done for the app.
Spam Hunter ( 2016-06-25 17:49:07 +0200 )edit@Markkyboy Thanks your images. Maybe I didn't describe the question clearly. I would like to make backups to phone memory.
fishegg ( 2016-06-26 03:14:47 +0200 )editI fully understood your question, no worries there, I suppose I am trying to say; you will no longer be able to backup the way you describe, this is just my view, my opinion. As per first image, if there is no memory card, there is no mention of alternative backup except by cloud /dropbox.......I've found no option to backup like we used to pre 2.0..2.
Perhaps you should tag your question as a Feature Request - to bring back the original way, along side new options.
