Full backup of android phone ?

Can you do a full backup of an android phone - something akin to taking a disc image on linux?

I need to factory reset my pixel 3a for repairs, and would very much like to be able to simply do a restore once it comes back. Restoring settings, text messages, apps, etc.

Is it possible? or do I have to accept loosing every thing but apps and starting fresh

I used trwp in the past, but i can't remember if it backups your personal data or just the system.in order to use the app your device needs to be rooted.

oddly it seems its just not possible, but at least it seems google offers backup of text messages on pixel devices. anything else might be possible if the phone is rooted, except for a mile long list of caveats :|
