BixbyI recently did a full backup of all my Samsung S6 data to my iMac, using the S6's backup & restore app. I now want to restore this backup from the iMac to my Samsung S8. {Am unable to do a direct transfer from the S6 to the S8 because the S6's screen is cracked and unreadable.}
- Is this type of restoration doable?
- Can this be done via the Samsung Smart Switch app on the S8?
- Or can it only be done from the iMac?
- Are there any simple step-by-step instructions available for doing this?
- Will this overwrite any data that's already on the S8?
Please advise.

BixbyProbably not, with broken S6 screen. What about non-SmartSwitch restoration from the S8?

I don't know which backup and restore app you use for S6 backup. Theoretically, if you install the sane app on S8, you should able restore everything from S6 full backup.
