Sadly backup and restore is completely broken for me.
I had an old backup from april as .vault and copying it over to C worked as expected.
But the ui feature is not working at all.
First i tried to "Updated Backup". A nice looking Circle spin shows it is working through contacts, apps and so on, but ends with an error it could not write or something.
But it created a 320Mb Backup tar file on the Btrfs SD nevertheless, so i copied this file to a new ext4 sd and plugged into C.
Restore did not work from this file as expected, an error was thrown.
Now i tried to backup from 2.0.2.45 Tablet to ext4 SD. Error.
I ended up reformating the SD in different machines and tried again, no luck.
Also i could not update the local backup in .vault. The ui always cried for an SD to be present to backup to.
I have not tried FAT SD, should i?
Your issues might be to do with this?:

If this condition is not met, the backup operation creates an erroneous backup, or the restore operation fails to restore the backup correctly. A fix is underway for this, but in the meantime, you can clear the contents of /tmp before doing a backup or restore to maximize the available space. If you have very large files that cannot be well compressed (e.g. videos) or a sizeable collection of large files (e.g. photos) that will cause the /tmp limit to be exceeded, move these to the memory card or some other off-device location before starting the backup/restore. Note that videos and images are not included in cloud-based backups so this is predominantly an issue for memory card backup/restore operations.
