Hi I'm not very good on my phone and I need to back up some files, including 8000 or so recorded calls, which I must not lose. It's a Huawei 20x 5G. It is absolutely stuffed full of really important stuff including the phone calls which I cannot lose, but if I try to back up to Google Drive it will only let me back up 40 or so at a time and it takes hours upon hours. I have in the past managed to put things onto a USB pendrive but the USB port is dodgy and it doesn't always transfer over. If the port breaks then I can't do anything at all obviously as I can't charge it. what is going to be the easiest quickest way for me to get copies of all this stuff? I'm terrified of doing something wrong trying to sort it ! Sorry to sound so totally daft.

What app are you using for the recorded calls?
You should keep using Google Drive. It may take hours upon hours, but you need to find the time if it's that important

8000 recorded calls?
Now I know where all those spam calls came from!

Sorry for the late reply, I'm not very well. It's just Call recorder, I thought it stored them somewhere else, but then found out they are all stored on my phone

Your phone model supports Nano Memory cards, yes? Do you have one?
Transferring your audio library to a NM card should be quicker than uploading to an online storage service. Then remove the card and copy your audio files to a PC (assuming it has a card slot or you have a USB card adapter).
Otherwise, while 8000 audio files are a pretty significant number of files, a big factor you're leaving out is the file size amount. If these are relatively low-res recordings than each file is going to reflect that in its file size, if these are higher res audio than of course conversely they'll each be a lot larger in file size. Also are they mono or stereo? That among other factors are relevant. The point being the total amount of those 8000 files is dependent on a mystery -- i.e. when it takes hours to upload a batch of 40 files that could mean those are high-res audio files, or it could mean you have a relatively slow broadband or cellular connection. Are you using WiFi (broadband, ISP-based) or mobile data (cellular, carrier-based)?
