What's the best way to backup a phone without root?

I've got a Mi 10t Lite 5g that's starting to show its age, and could do with a factory reset to clear some of the crap. Ideally I want to unlock the bootloader and try some custom ROMs too.

It's been years since I did a backup without moving to a new phone, so I don't know the best way to do it anymore. What's the best way these days?

If you have access to a desktop, it's via ADB backup: https://gist.github.com/AnatomicJC/e773dd55ae60ab0b2d6dd2351eb977c1

That's brilliant, thank you. I'll try it tonight and see how it goes :)

I'd be interested to hear how it goes for you.

That's brilliant, thank you :)

I'd actually forgotten to try the other method (ADHD strikes again!), so I'll try them both out this week :)
