When I try to backup to SD-card, I get:

Checking disk space required for /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Backups-tmp/units/sailfish_backup_2017-08-20T09-49-44Z Start: tar -cvf /media/sdcard/D9D0-8A08/sailfish_backup_2017-08-20T09-49-44Z.tar .from directory: /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Backups-tmp/units/sailfish_backup_2017-08-20T09-49-44Z Done: tar [FAILED] Exit code: 2 Standard error was: tar: /media/sdcard/D9D0-8A08/sailfish_backup_2017-08-20T09-49-44Z.tar: Cannot open: Read-only file system tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I've tried to change permissions using devel-su, but to no avail.

When I try to backup to Dropbox, I get:

[UI] Triggered backups upload to cloud account 10 from dir /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Backups/cloud [UI] Sync error: Unable to start sync!

you forget to mention the device name and also check under your account settings if the settings were disabled or it may be your connection issue, or are you using a Vpn, if yes, disable it and run the back up again.

It's a Jolla 1.

What do you mean with account settings? Dropbox, Jolla or where? Under Dropbox account settings Storage is enabled.

I'm not using a VPN.

both Drobox and Jolla, may be they are having connectivity issue, so try a re-setup/installing your jolla and see how it works.

Recreating the Dropbox account seems to fix it for Dropbox at least.
