Device: S21 FE

The 'External Storege Transfer' backup option has stopped working after the recent One UI 6.1 update. It used to work flawlessly before the update. Any fix?

Hey there, welcome to the Community, and thanks for reaching out on this matter. Have you tried a simple restart? https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00092262/#:~:text=use%20the%20screen.-,Press%20and%20ho....

If the restart wasn't helpful, you can check to see if a third-party application is responsible: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062983/

Lastly, if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, it may be time to factory reset the device. Back up everything you can, even if manually, beforehand: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/

If you are still having difficulties with that feature, or you are unable to back up everything another way to make the factory reset possible, submit an error report: https://www.samsung.com/ae/support/mobile-devices/raising-an-error-report-via-samsung-members-app/
