Hi all, I have got a question about the size of the backup. If I do a backup with sailfish the tar file is only 2.9MB. I think that is to small to save all picture, videos, contacts, ... Can anybody help me?

I don't have many picture on my phone and the backup is around 1,2 Go. So I agree, it is too small ... I think.

Photo ; Video

The Backup function will only save those which as specifically in the internal flash storage. If you've moved your photo storage to the microSD card, the backup will not re-pack them into the tar that gets written on the SD card (for obvious reasons, as you already have them on the SD card)

True. I forgot this possibility ...

Just look inside to confirm. Here is one of mine. As you can see, if you store all photos on SD card and clean your browser browser data, the size can be very low:
