And this is just one and the most friendly one of millions of iPhone not backing up cases.
iPhone still not backing up to iTunes, iCloud, computer Windows 10/macOS Mojave? You should download this instant iPhone backup software – DearMob iPhone Manager – to usher in a new way to back up your iPhone photos, videos, contacts, messages, iTunes purchased movies/TV shows/music, etc seperately or as a whole to multiple devices.

2. Manage iCloud 5GB storage;
3. Use wired backup solution. Do remember to check your iCloud backup is turned on.
How to manage 5GB iCloud storage when you are reluctant to pay extra money for iCloud storage?
iCloud extra storage is a cost that you pay for your laziness and ignorance. Though organizing iCloud, you will gradually come to senses that we do not need a huge iCloud storage space to backup all our data, only the crucial ones to be shown on multiple devices when needed, like contacts info, certain game savings, and most frequently used apps. Almost half of your screenshots/photos/videos are useless and two thirds of your apps are seldom used. Those data are like storage junks to your inventory. Imagine in a H1Z1 gaming, why wasting time in collecting a bag of 500-bullet garbage when only 200 are sufficient already to sustain you to the chicken dinner?
Make the best of 5GB iCloud storage for iPhone backup:
Step 1: On iPhone, go to Settings > Apple ID [your name] >iCloud
Step 2: Turn off seldom-used Apps using iCloud
Step 3: Tap "Manage Storage" and select to delete apps data using iCloud
Step 4: Tap Backups > iPhone (this iPhone) > Choose data to back up. Here, you can toggle off useless apps data saved in iCloud. You can also delete older backups that you no longer need.
Due to iPhone to iCloud backup fail, backup could not be completed note will be shown below iCloud Backup button. The most likely backup fail causes are low battery status and poor wi-fi connection. You need to make sure that your iPhone is connected to a power source in case of an accidental shut down; and to a stable, strong Wi-Fi network with wide bandwidth, since you can't use iCloud Backup over a cellular Internet connection.
Poor Wi-Fi condition, VPN connection, and narrow bandwidth may interrupt your iPhone backup process. Other possible reasons are the conflicting existing iCloud backup files (delete older backup files), internet timeout, router issues etc. Reboot your iPhone if necessary.
