That’s a really smart concern to have, especially with all the sneaky risks tied to backups. The trouble is a backup from an infected phone can unknowingly carry hidden malware right onto your reset device. I recommend using a monitoring app like mSpy or Eyezy to scan your phone after it’s wiped, before making any new backups; that helps confirm everything’s truly clean. It’s even safer to export key info by hand—photos, your contacts list—instead copying full backups. Are you more worried about saving texts, apps, photos, or something else? I can walk you through how to tackle whichever one matters most!
