What's the most painless way to actually backup my phone?

I've got a Pixel 7 on Android 13. Once in a while I read about how it's usually good to factory reset your phone after a software update, so I thought I might when I update to Android 14. That said, I refuse to go through the process of setting up my phone like new again, especially with things like fingerprints and tasker profiles being a pain to setup again.

The Google Backup seems purely cosmetic. I can't think of a single thing it restores every single time I use it. Are there any options to actually back my phone up before an update that don't involve root?

  • One of the biggest reasons I root and use Swift Backup.

    • One of the few things I miss about having root. Proper backups!
