Encrypted backup -> remote storage -> factory reset -> cross border -> restore backup.
How can you do this especially if you don’t pay for cloud storage? I have self hosted cloud
VPN to your cloud server.
But how would I backup everything from an iPhone? I got photos and contacts down. Idk about the rest. Maybe you’ve given me a new project.
Pay for one month of iCloud, it's $3 to $11 depending on need. Cancel after trip.
Macs, or iTunes on Windows. There are two modes of a backup: actual one or backup in name only (like the names of the apps, I wish the latter fucks off).
iCloud.
Local iTunes backups don’t work over a VPN. Those are your only two ways to get a system level backup.

Sorry, idk why you got downvoted. I turned those off for me and my instance. Thanks for sharing!
Not your fault and thanks! Have a good one.
