How do I backup LITERALLY EVERYTHING?

so, I want to unlock bootloader but that will erase all my data, I haven't found a good way to backup the whole phone (all settings, all files, all photos, etc...), MIUI's built in backup doesn't do ****.
thanks in advance
Rooting is the only way.

Not exactly.
You lose data if you unlock/relock bootloader.
But the device has already unlocked bootloader, you can already root it without losing data.
If the device is not rooted, so you can backup non-root things only.

Question Relock bootloader

Hello. I wanted to root my redmi note 10s, and I unlocked the bootloader. But after reflexion, i want to cancel it, cause root will not be useful as I thought. Is it possible to relock the bootloader? And if yes, will the process erase all data ? And will everything be back like before? For example, will I be allowed to use Google One, witch doesn't work on bootloader unlocked devices ? Thanks by advance

When I tried it was always Google pay, thanks. Miflash is an official tool?
And will it be possible to re unlock after ?

Unlocking the bootloader will erase your device's data. It won't be without data loss.
