It was a option for the previous launcher that made setting up a new phone much easier.
Can we do this?

@Gturnage Using Samsung's Smart Switch will do this for you. You can either do a backup on the old phone and a restore on the new one OR you can just use Smart Switch to transfer everything from old phone to new phone.

It is backed up to your samsung account. To check or manually do so go to settings, accounts and backup, under samsung cloud choose backup data, make sure home screen and apps are checked, then press backup now. When you setup new phone sign in to your samsung account when prompted and choose to restore all settings.

@Gturnage True, Nova Launcher requires separate backup. It is not included in the Smart Switch backup.
