Best/easiest/safest way to do a full backup and restore to Motorola G Pure (without using internet/google cloud) that has Macrodroid installed on it?

I got the following phone:

Moto G Pure | 2021 | 2-Day battery | Unlocked | Made for US by Motorola | 3/32GB | 13MP Camera | Deep Indigo

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BTB5MKT/

It has an Android 11 installed. It comes with an internal storage of 32GB (not a SD card). It has Macrodroid installed with many configurations configured which took me a lot of time and effort to make (battery optimizations settings, adb hack, etc).

How can I make a full backup of the phone content, that would include data including apps and the apps data (all configuration inside apps, macrodroid macros, etc)? Without syncing it to google account or using internet. Basically similar to how iTunes does a full backup and restore for an iPhone or Kies for Samsung phones.

I spoke with Motorola support and they told me they used to have a program like that called Moto Blur which was discontinued so it's unlikely to support my phone.

Is it possible to make a copy/image of the phone hard drive somehow or is there a third party software that can achieve the same thing as the full backup/restore functionality as the other brands software? Any recommendations or suggestions?

Do you have any experience with Super Backup & Restore, a third-party app, to manually backup all of your contacts, sms, call logs, calendars, bookmarks and apps to your SD card or phone's internal storage: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&hl=en_US&gl=US What about an app called Titanium Backup. This article claims it can be done without root: https://www.nextpit.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-app-data-with-or-without-root What about the adb backup command: https://gist.github.com/AnatomicJC/e773dd55ae60ab0b2d6dd2351eb977c1 Or Shizuku: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=moe.shizuku.privileged.api

Thank you.

Request that has nothing to do with macrodroid. On the web there are hundreds of sites with tips and tricks on android, use Google and you will have dozens of answers. Also look at xda, a very famous site frequented by very smart developers

Well, macrodroid requires lots of special configuration and setup, adb hack, permissions, it's hard to remember everything what needs to be done, especially if you lose or get a new phone. That's why it's important to able to backup not just the macrodroid macros, but also the phone that contains macrodroid. It's a shame some brands don't provide this native capability and want to sell your data/privacy to the cloud.

I agree with @Qarboz and cannot advocate in this case.

I have experience troubleshooting Android on other sites and I would not recommend most backup apps because they are not perfect and using them can cause problems.

Without root, Titanium backup will only be able to backup files in areas that don't need root access. App data and settings are in an area which needs root access. So basically it can backup the same files that you can just copy and paste to a pc, some messages and some contacts, and that's about it. Goodbye to accounts, game saves ,etc.

Can’t you complement titanium backup, missing app data portion with adb backup command: https://gist.github.com/AnatomicJC/e773dd55ae60ab0b2d6dd2351eb977c1

Or with Shizuku (Japanese app?): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=moe.shizuku.privileged.api

GitHub - RikkaApps/Shizuku: Using system APIs directly with adb/root privileges from normal apps through a Java process started with app_process.

Could you please try it with the throwaway phone you bought same as mine (moto g pure for my other post) and report back? Much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
