Here are some additional tips for backing up your Android phone:

Save your contacts to your Google account by default. When saving a contact, select your Google account instead of your phone as the default location to save the contact.

Back up your data regularly. This will help to ensure that you have the most recent version of your data in case your phone is lost or damaged.

Keep multiple backups. This way, if you lose one backup, you still have another one.

Store your backups in a safe place. This could be a cloud storage service, an external hard drive, or even a USB drive.
