Describe the issue below.

The backup failed because SMS weren't available:

Exporting contacts (as vCard), call logs as well as SMS messages (as CSV).
 622KiB 0:00:00 [ 745KiB/s] [   <=>                                                                                                                                                            ]
mv: kan status van './backup-tmp/open-android-backup-temp/SMS_Messages.csv' niet opvragen: Bestand of map bestaat niet

I checked the backup-tmp/ directory and indeed the SMS files weren't there.

The Open Android Backup Companion app mentioned in the Export Data section:

Exported 2783 contact(s) out of 2783. Found 527 SMS messages to process, of which 547 have been exported. 992 call log(s) have been found, 992 of which have been exported.

Some thoughts

Perhaps it is related to me using a custom SMS app Simple SMS Messenger, although the companion app has mentioned the back-upped SMS files.

I noticed the same issue mentioned in this issue for adb so perhaps it is a more common issue? #68

Got this too. I think open-android-backup should at least not stop at this point and display an error or warning an carry on with the rest of the backup.

I have the same problem, on a Samsung S21. The backup then stopped and didn't handle photos and videos, among others.
