I was thinking about changing ROMs due to problems with the camera, But, what do I have to backup in TWRP? I've seen a lot of videos and I've done a lot of research and they all say different things, I just want to backup everything I need if I have problems installing another rom (Like the IMEI is at 0 or does not start or things of that type), and not saving all apps / photos. What do I select and what not?
What to backup on TWRP?

You should backup everything except Data, Internal Storage and Vendor.
System - backs up current rom
Boot - backs up current roms kernel
Data - backs up current roms app data (do not restore on different rom)
Efi/persist - backs up imei/modem
If you want to restore from a different rom format data first to avoid extracttar errors (probably would only happen if encrypted) reboot back to recovery then you can restore everything back to how it was when the backups were made

Make sure you are using the latest official twrp 3.4.0-1
It maybe displayed as modem
