[Q] Is there a root method that does not wipe the GNEX?

[xev11]

I'm looking to finally root my verizon gnex since it's getting very slow.
I was hoping to root, create a complete backup and install a rom.

So is there a root tool or method that won't wipe the current data?

The search box is there for a reason. Use it.
Rooting will involve unlocking the boot loader. Unlocking the boot loader always wipes all current data.

Rooting unlocks the bootloader which wipes data. There are methods through which you can root without data wipe. But unfortunately none works for galaxy nexus
