Damaged iPhone back up

Can I back up an iPhone that the front screen is damaged? My iPhone screen is completely damaged and I wish to back up my data before I start to use another iPhone. Can I back up the damaged phone as one would before uploading the info onto the new phone. If so, how do I go about it? Thanks

iPhone 8, iOS 15

You will have to get the screen repaired first. Tell the Apple repair shop you need the data in case they swap out the phone.

Always back up weekly to a computer or daily to iCloud before the disaster happens.
