Unable to Backup iPhone - What to manually backup?

[musicpenguy]

Hi there,

My old iPhone SE refuses to backup to both iCloud and the Mac. I use iCloud Photo Library, iMessage in the Cloud, and everything else I can. Is there any data I should look into manually backing up so I can upgrade to the iPhone mini?

Thanks!

No backup is necessary. If you upgrade to an iPhone 12 Mini, you can transfer your data directly from the SE to the Mini using Quick Start.

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Set up your new iOS device automatically using an iPhone or iPad.

Does that also transfer saved passwords and such? I have a backup of my IPhone X ready on my computer for my 12 to arrive tomorrow, but it may show up right as I’m leaving for work and if I can transfer all that without the computer I may bring it with me and let it run when I’m working.
