How do backups/restores work when using LineageOS and moving to a new phone?

With Titanium Backup unmaintained, Neo Backup [1] works pretty well. It has some potential issues with restoring wifi/bluetooth/sms as those were still experimental, last I used it. But sms at least worked. I'd suggest a 2nd backup app of those, just in case.

They're seamless. Any phone that allows you true `root` can do nandroid style backups which work very similar to how iOS does backups.
