Transfer murena phone account

Hi,
Very very happy 5 months e os user here, but quit tech dummy.
i would like to pass my eos phone to a member of my family and get a new for me. What is the easiest way to transfer my murena account from the old to the new phone?
Thank you

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the unGoogled mobile OS and online servicesphone

If you acquire your new phone and simply add your existing Murena account at first start wizard this will just work, apart from effects of the outage, so some things are going to fail to add to the new phone. Two phones, one account is no problem in itself.

I would want to test that this was ok, and the effects of the outage were not too significant for me.

Then a Factory reset of your old phone will detach the account from your old phone ready to give it away.

If required at First start wizard add the newly created account of the recipient.

Ok, thank you very much. And what about things that (…i suppose) are not synced with murena cloud, like sms and contacts stored locally (In the phone storage and not in the murena account), and may be also photos (considering the outage)? Should i pass trough a previous back up? If yes, is it what syncthing does? Or is a different app that i need?
Thanks in advance

First How to Backup and Restore an /e/OS phone

then a forum search :mag: of Backup finds many results.

This (closed) post contains many useful links [HOWTO] back up your data and settings - draft.

Regarding Seedvault, go to

Settings > System > Backup > Seedvault Backup > Backup status

this gives a good overview of what is backed up. Bottom of the page includes Apps that do not allow data backup.

A backup of Contacts from

Contacts app > top left 3 bar menu > Settings > Export > Export contacts

A backup of SMS (recent versions) [1]

Message app > top left 3 bar menu > Backup and restore.

Make sure backups, including Seedvault, go to external media which will be readable by the new device.

Photos can be backed up to a PC by file transfer is probably the simplest.

[1] if the option is not available, perhaps try GitHub - tmo1/sms-ie: SMS Import / Export is a simple Android app that imports and exports SMS and MMS messages, call logs, and contacts from and to JSON / NDJSON files. or, while proprietary, SMS Backup & Restore – SyncTech

Thank you indeed for your help!
