Backup & SD card unusable for SFOS

Well, after upgrading to 2.1.1 my Jolla 1, I used the phone which started to get some problems and ended freezing... a black screen appeared on reboot after Jolla logo, so I had to perform factory reset.

I had made before the upgrade a backup, before resetting I checked from pc (Win 10) if everything was fine in the SD card, all files where in place (at least, I thought that..); the backup files had some strange names made of random ascii characters, but I thought it was windows unable to reknow them.

The reset brought new life to my Jolla, but now it seems my sdcard is unservable to SFOS... I can access all files from phone and PC without problems, but when I try to restore the backup, it says no past backup has been found. Plus, it isn't possible to make new backup (red message reads cannot write on the chosen destination). Other oddities are the same, as choosing to write photos and videos on sdcard reads chosen memory is not available, will use device memory.

Will post some screens hereafter.
