Practical suggestions about backing up a phone

I was leaning over my aquarium to get a net when the phone that was in my shirt pocket...yah, you guessed. It worked for a couple more minutes after I took it out and dried it. In that couple of minutes I was able to download an app and back up stuff to the memory card...I am not sure yet if it was set up to back up the data or not..i will have to wait. I put the phone in my dehydrator, hoping that it would mitigate any damage that the water did, and will take it to a shop as soon as possible.
I have a new phone now. I do not want to do a complete restore of the old phone. I would like to set up my own system of folders and change settings in each app (if allowed) to store files where I want them to be. Still, I seldom have to do this and would welcome any input you have about efficient and secure ways to set up a new android phone. It is a xiaomi Note11 Pro. I have friends who have this and have not had any issues, so I thought I would try one out.
