No such file error halting process about open-android-backup

Do you have any contacts saved on the phone? Did you export data in the companion app as requested by the script?

I do have contacts saved and I used the companion app both times at the beginning of the program. I clicked export data and gave it permission when prompted.

That's very odd, none of my test devices exhibit this type of behavior. Could you replace the get_file function (in backup.sh) with the following and see if it fixes anything?

# Usage: get_file <directory> <file> <destination>
function get_file() {
  if [ "$export_method" = 'tar' ]; then
    adb exec-out "tar -c -C $1 $2 2> /dev/null" | pv -p --timer --rate --bytes | tar -C $3 -xf -
  else # we're falling back to adb pull if the variable is empty/unset
    if [ "$2" = '.' ]; then
        adb pull $1 $3
    else
        adb pull $1/$2 $3
    fi
  fi
}

It still happens. I've uploaded the log to pastebin: https://pastebin.com/RChTvs01
Is there a way to skip contacts as a workaround maybe?

You can skip contacts by commenting get_file /storage/emulated/0/linux-android-backup-temp . ./backup-tmp/Contacts in backup.sh, but the log you posted shows that this could be a larger issue - it seems like the companion app is unable to create the folder used to get the contacts from the device. Did you allow the "All files access" permission when requested by the companion app?

Closing due to a lack of response from the issue author.
