With a USB cable and your phone manufactures backup software installed on your computer, as recommended by your manufacturer?

But seriously, this may not always be an option. And you have to decide if you want to risk giving it to Jimmy in that state. But keep in mind that you do, Jimmy is taking a copy of those bikini pics. And you probably don’t want to know what he plans to do with them.
