Can anyone help with these errors?
I can only really comment on the last one.

Errors during the backup like this usually mean the database on the device is corrupt. The Kobo Utilities plugin copies the database from the device and then does check on it to make sure it is OK. If it isn't, you will get an error and the backup won't be completed. But, that error usually indicates a bad enough problem that I would expect to see an error when calibre tried to get the list of books from the device.

Can you run the database check from the Kobo Utilities menu when the device is connected? I'd like to see if that displays any errors.
