solved: Settings >> Chats >> Chat backups >> Create backup

all the instructions I can find for creating a backup are instructions for transferring my account to another phone, which is not what I'm trying to do. I just want a nice little zip file or something that I can save on some third party storage device.

I had tried getting my way through that seven times before making this post […]

Then you could have written that from the beginning and saved me the effort to find and post that link.
