Transfering contacts, texts, etc to new Pixel 9

TheL1GHTSiDE

I received the "no longer supported" message on my Pixel 4 XL so I bought a new Pixel 9 and installed GrapheneOS. I wanted to start fresh and selectively move things over to the new phone but can't figure out how to do it with some things (pictures and music are easy).
There are two parts to my question, how do i manually copy/export this data for use on my new phone and is there a way i could sync this data automatically to a shared folder on my QNap NAS?
I discovered the backup option in settings, is there a way I could point the storage location to my NAS?

Thank you for your help!

I tend to use SMS Backup & Restore deny it network permission, make a local backup, transfer it via whatever secure means you have to the other phone, point the app on the new phone to the backup, restore.

If you keep the app lacking network permission and wipe its storage & cache (along with uninstalling once used) you don't need to worry about any potential vulnerabilities in the app or the permissions it requires.

This method is free, easy to use, and easy to set up.
