Full and reliable backup can be made by using the built-in FTP-Server of the MIUI.
Convenient wireless backup, I recommend usage of a file-manager with a split-panel option. As long as there are no corrupted files on board of your phone the foll contents of your device can be copied and after termination be verified. I am using a Raspberry Pi in my home-network, software is Linux. I still am using the good old mc (midnight-commander) .
The download speed is about 200 kB/s, so there will be time to walk your dog!
In case a corrupted file is found, the transfer will be stopped but you can suspend, check and resume.
For Windows you can use Ghisler’s Total Commander.
