 Thanks for that.  Like you, I couldn't find it on the Samsung site. I've downloaded and installed it from your link, and backed up the WiFi settings to a PC  -  encouragingly, I was given the specificity to choose to back up only those settings.  However, looking at the backed up files, although I can open the zips in 7-zip, the data itself is encrypted, despite there being an option to encrypt which I noted and specifically left unselected.  I suspect that it's encrypted because the original file from the phone was just backed up as is, and that was encrypted on the phone 🙁
 From which I predict that most probably it will also be encrypted using the micro SD card that is due to arrive early this evening 🙁

Prediction correct: The backups by either method seem to consist of metadata files which are unencrypted, and data files which are encrypted no matter how the backup is made.
