Phone Melted - restore backup to new?
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RJNG)
My phone Melted (story below) and I have a replacement. I want my contacts, photos, and WhatsApp messages back. I presume I have some form of backup in my otherwise defunct gmail account. Is there any way I can examine what's there before loading it into the phone?
Phone Melted Story:
There I was at a zoom meeting when smoke started coming in front of my nose, getting worse by the second. The only possible source was my phone, so I put it on the mouse mat, and yes it was smoking, and I was lucky not to be severely damaged.
It started smoking so much I had to put it on the window sill, as the screen had burned the mouse mat. I scored high marks for getting the phone away from my person, but very low marks for keeping smoke out of the house, and am still in the dog house over that. My son went looking for my Sim, and found the Sim holder, but no sim. It must have melted too.
