Arno,
 

I am not sure this is fully true. I make backups from Linux via USB
cable, and I get the WhatsApp store, the photos, many things. There are
just a few directories from the system that are not readable.

Yes - that's a *backup*. But *backup* is not "access files with a file
manager on the device" and not all apps allow to backup their data.

 Has the OP mentioned anywhere a restriction to any method for accessing that
data ?  If not, don't complain that someone suggested a viable one you
didn't think of.
 Also, your compaint that "not all apps allow" ... well, not what the OP
asked for is only good as a "it might not work" remark, but certainly not as
rejection of what Carlos suggested.  And no, he wasn't suggesting that the
OP should make a backup.  But you already knew that.
 IOW, you would throw a perfectly good suggestion (solution?) away because
you think that there "is a chance" that it would not work ?   Thats
downright stupid.
 OP:
Follow Carlos suggestion, connect your smartphone to a PC and see what its
filebrowser* allows you to access.  :-)

When this Android 15 smartphone is connected to my Windows11 PC via USB, it does not show up in Windows Explorer at all. And no message on the phone about allowing access. Therefore I use an app, Cx File Explorer, for transfering files between Phone and PC. I have tried different cables: one with USB-A in one end and USB-C in the other, and one with USB-C in both ends.
My old Android 4 phone is visible in Windows Explorer on PC when connected via USB, and files can be transferred.

 * or perhaps a specialized browser for your smartphone.
