It has been like this for a few weeks now. Could be a Xiaomi server problem, but I wonder why they do not fix it...

No, is not a Xiaomi server problem. I have an older Xiaomi phone too with official Global beta rom and there is working the MiCloud backup properly. So something wrong with xiaomi.eu rom.
Good to know. I did have the same impression, because - as I wrote somewhere else here in the forum - the bug on my phone appeared exactly at one weekly update. I always do backups directly before updates, and directly after. For one particular version (I don't remember exactly which one, but it is in my other post), it worked before, and 5 minutes later, after installation and reboot, it didn't.
While this CAN of course be a coincidence, I consider it highly unlikely to be the case.
I'm having the same issues with my mind mix 2s. I can't restore from micloud. I get the same as above user. I've tried re booting, signing in/out of the cloud to no avail. Anyone help!!?

It's very frustrating to see that this important backup feature hasn't worked for weeks.
Nobody in the team seems to take this seriously, on the contrary it is said it is not a xiaomi.eu bug.
The backup function in the miCloud is one of the important functions, in my opinion.
I hope my move to Pocophone works with Titanium Backup. Otherwise I have a problem.

We do care and we ran multiple tests across platforms and what fails everytime is server. Not ours, but Chinese one.
You know there are two ways to exchange data between xiaomi devices one is cloud the other one is local sharing by mimover.

Oh mi mover lol! I get what you're saying. I'm just left with a blank phone now (back to factory settings with none of my settings, apps etc) as I did a factory reset and wanted my old apps etc back and nothing is showing up in mi cloud. I don't see how mi mover would work as you would need two devices. I give up! I'll have to go through everything and set it up from scratch!!!

Yeah well mimover works when you transfer from one device to another, but there is one more way to backup miui backup in setting - additional settings - copy restore - miui backup. I never fully trust cloud I guess from now on you will not too, so consider local backup via this tool (for the next time).
Yes I'll do make sure next time that I do a local backup as well a cloud one too so I can definitely recover my settings. Also in the latest ROM, when you increase the font size to medium or large it also increases the folder sizes to huge on the home screen and other pages. Annoying
me too. I actually paid quite some money for a year of extra storage, of which already 2 months the backup does NOT work. How cannot we feel duped?
The question is, why the Chinese server fails. It could be some change in API, or geo-fencing. Did your tests include the original Chinese ROM, and if so, did the backup work with that ROM but not with the EU ROM, on the same device, from the same location? It will be necessary to get the backup working again, as quite a number of people are actually PAYING for the Cloud.

Factory reset will not help with this cloud thing and nope your local backup will be safe as long as you do not check wipe sd as well.
We tried official global roms and issue is there too, am not sure for how long it is how it is, cause I was not in a need to restore, not until last week when I realized the issue is there.
Thought so too for a moment, but take a look:
Code:

For me, the backup issue started exactly with installing 8.9.20. Worked a few minutes before the update, didn't work just after it.
