What do you trying to backup? I enable todo/calender/contacts/task, and they sync well. But crashed when backup is enabled. I think the backup backup things in the system and that is why it crashes. O/w you can specifically specify the sync item and it should be fine. Please report back whether that is the case, at least that is how I use sync. Stay away from backup.
What I thought I was trying to backup with the "Backup" setting was any system stuff such as Prefs and Shortcuts.
Maybe this is only a short-term issue until Access Company releases the GVM for Maemo 5.

BTW, I'm running the following apps under the GVM on my N900 without any visible problems:
- SplashShopper trial
- Tide Tool
- Sol Free
I would really like to test MegaClock, but it refuses to install.

Here are step by step instructions, all steps are performed on the N900.
1. If not already installed, install rootsh. This link has an install button if opened in the N900 browser http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh/
2. Open the web browser and open this page http://www.access-company.com/cgi/gv..._form&w=OS2008
3. Enter your information and select N810 as your tablet. Then click submit form.
4. Check your email and you fill find a link to the download site, open this link.
5. You will be asked to agree to a license agreement then provided a download link for the file garnet-vm_1.0.4b_ITOS2008_armel.deb. Download this file to your N900 remembering where you put it. Placing it in the N900 folder is an easy place to remember.
6. Open the X-Terminal application.
7. Type sudo gainroot [Enter] in X-Terminal
8. Type cd MyDocs [Enter] in X-terminal (substitute any other folder you saved garnet-vm_1.0.4b_ITOS2008_armel.deb to for MyDocs).
9. Type dpkg -i garnet-vm_1.0.4b_ITOS2008_armel.deb [Enter] in X-Terminal.
10. Type exit [Enter] in X-Terminal. (This exits the root shell)
11. Type exit [Enter] in X-Terminal. (This closes X-Terminal)
12. You now have an icon for Garnet VM in the second page of application icons.
I get to step 7 and have on my screen
/home/user #
Then if I type
cd Documents
I get message
/home/user # cd documents
/bin/sh: cd: cant cd to documents
/home/user #
If I go into File Manager in my n900, I have 2 directories, Jimmy and Memory Card.
I have tried downloading the .deb file to directory Jimmy and typing
cd Jimmy in X-Terminal, but get same message.
I have also typed
cd Jimmy/documents
and
cd /home/user # /Jimmy
and
cd /home/user/Jimmy
Please help
Please help

Underneath that, the various directories are:
Audio clips -- /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds
Camera -- /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM
Documents -- /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
Images -- /home/user/MyDocs/.images
Video clips -- /home/user/MyDocs/.videos
I believe "Memory Card" is located at /media/mmc1, but I'm not completely sure as I don't have one installed.

I did not follow the thread, but you have to spell the complete path in order to cd there.
Or another easier way to do, dl to a folder you know, then cd there and run the .deb; for example
dl to /media/mmc1
and cd /media/mmc1
ls to show it is there
and type the file name to execuate the .deb
post back if question

Does anyone know what that error code means?
Thanks.
