[HOWTO] Backup and Restore Data on Android Devices

Reading this and that in this thread, I realize it is not straightforward to do a backup including media and documents, let alone e-mail. When you have a rooted phone you can use something like NeoBackup, but when you don´t, you have to save those data manually to your pc or to another drive, if they are not hidden for the user, like e-mails not from Murena.
I would like to see a built in solution on /e/OS to backup ALL your data to the Murena cloud and be able to restore it too, from the cloud to the new device. Most of the data are synced to the cloud anyway, so why isn´t it possible to get those back on a new device? I prefer not to depend on other backup-and-restore tools + manual backup. Make /e/OS easier! And isn´t /e/OS’s slogan: my data is my data?

P.S. Someone mentioned a way to download the content from the Murena cloud to the pc with Nextcloud. What to do next to send those data to the new phone?
