Since I reflashed my device after an update broke it, I can't backup anymore. Currently running Sailfish OS 3.3 on Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra

The logfile says the following:

Status = Preparing
    [UI] Preparing to backup files to /run/media/nemo/fbad08b7-5439-426b-83dc-08f77c5ee5eb/sailfish_backup_2020-07-05T07-39-14Z.tar

Ok, after a bit of debugging I found out, that the group-owner of the directory was actually wrong and the user 'nemo' had no write access to it.

I would suggest everyone who runs into a similar problem checking the existence, permissions and ownership's of the given paths from the log-file.

Why the log just couldn't say "permission denied" is beyond me.
