How to backup phone while unable to get past startup logo?

[Embee19]

For the first time, suddenly my Samsung Galaxy Light can't get past the startup logo screen. I've tried removing the battery / soft resets, but that doesn't work. So unless someone knows of a better solution, I'm going to need to perform a Hard Reset.

But obviously I'm going to need to backup the phone. Backing up the SD card is not only trivial, it's unnecessary. But since I can't get past the logo, I can't figure out how to backup the internal data.Ordinarily I'd just connect it to my computer and back it up there, but since I can't get past the logo screen, my computer doesn't see it. Most of my contacts and many of my apps are stored in the Samsung backup, but not everything.

How else can I back it up before the hard reset?

Thanks!

I think I've got it on my Samsung cloud backup, so I'm gonna go ahead and do the hard reset. So consider this closed
