Without root: no
Even with root it’s not anywhere near trivial.
You can’t, for instance, make a backup of the userdata partition block device and expect to be able to restore it because it must be decrypted by a key in the phone’s security module that gets wiped when you boot a new ROM.
Right, forgot about automatic encryption
