Many solutions are available to run backups. External hard drives, cloud, etc. For your phone, the cloud is available as well as your computer.
It is important to know the frequency with which you back up your files and operating system. Monthly, weekly, daily, or even hourly may be the best frequency for you, depending on how often you create or change your data.
