LG G2 – Best way to back up before messing with the phone?

I got my G2 set to my pleasing, but I want to experiment with a few things, apps, modifications, etc.. (not rooting it) especially see if I can fix the jittery scroll performance. (Thank God, no touch screen problem so far, and knock on off works fine)

Is there anyway I can get a snapshot of the current phone, save it in some sort of image for recovery later on (without rooting)? I really don’t want to have to go through all my customizations, disabled/removed apps, and have to download all these stuff and set them up (especially work stuff).
