      Qualcomm has a similar tool made by the same person called edl, but it doesn’t work with every phone.

      Assuming you are not rooted, you can use adb backup, along with manually backing up your SMS and Call logs, and manually backing up any unsupported apps, like Signal, for example.

      Also the userdata partition is encrypted, so a backup of it won’t help much on any encrypted Android phone. You can also backup the envryption key, but I can never remember where that’s stored.

      If you are rooted, or if you have an unlocked bootloader and are able to install Magisk, use oandbackup
