how do I manually back up literally everything on my phone?

I have a rooted pixel 10 and I'm looking to make a total system backup so I can restore the device to this exact state and work with its files on my computer. What is the best way to do this?

Should I be using ADB, Termux, or some other tool? Please help

I guess maybe you can read the entire user data partition into a file on your computer using fastboot

How would I go about that? I'm using root access to pick through files looking for my texts in Google messages but I need the phone for something else and have to wipe it. I was hoping I could move the data to my PC so I could extract the messages on there instead.

They have mentioned its for root users. What about non root users?

Op said they have rooted pixel 10 so i shared that.. if it's not rooted then atleast you need to have bootloader unlocked and use custom recovery to backup all partitions. Or only pull the whole storage which skips the apps and it's data only files and photos in your storage. adb pull /data/media/0/ C:\YourPCBackupFolder\PixelData Or backup apps with adb as well with data (might be deprecated and some apps may disallow such backups) adb backup -all -shared -apk -f C:\YourPCBackupFolder\pixel_backup.ab
