I get the support.apple.com/iphone/restore screen but I need to back up my phone before I restore. Is there anyway to go about this without wiping all of my photos?

I was trying to backup my phone to my computer as the storage was full. It was having a few issues with the backup, so I did a hard restart on my phone but it never turned on after that. Ever since, the only option I’m given is “support.apple.com/iphone/restore” but I don’t want to restore without backing it up, as I will lose all of my photos. Is there a way to avoid this?

iPhone XS, iOS 14

Unfortunately, no, you would have had to do backups before your phone was dissabled.
