Hello Farhanalimansuri,


We understand that you're not able to create a backup. To ensure that we're providing you with the most accurate details, we'll need to ask you a few questions:


  1. Are you using iCloud or a computer to create a backup?
  2. What happens when trying to back up your data? For example, do you receive an error message?


Having these details will allow the community to provide you with the next best steps to take. In the meantime, if you're using iCloud, the following steps may be able to help resolve this issue:


"If an alert says that there's not enough iCloud storage

  1. In iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings > [your name].
  2. Tap iCloud. At the top, you can check how much iCloud storage you've used.
  3. Tap Manage Account Storage or Manage Storage.
  4. Tap Backups, then tap the device you're using. Under Last Backup and Backup Size, you can check Next Backup Size. It may take a few minutes for your device to calculate Next Backup Size. 
  5. If your backup needs more space than the amount you have available in iCloud, you can: 


If a message says that your last backup couldn't be completed

  1. In iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Check that you're connected to Wi-Fi. 
  2. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update. Download and install any available updates for your device. 
  3. Try to back up on another Wi-Fi network.
  4. Check to make sure that you have enough iCloud storage for the backup


If your iCloud backup is taking longer than expected to complete

  1. In iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Check that you're connected to Wi-Fi. 
  2. Check your upload speed.
  3. Leave your device connected to power and Wi-Fi for 24 hours. If your backup still isn't done, archive important data then contact Apple Support.


If the iCloud Backup option is greyed out

  1. Check if a restore is still in progress. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup. If your device is still being restored, you see “This [device] is currently being restored and will automatically back up when it is done.” You can create a new backup after your device finishes restoring.
  2. Check whether you installed a profile that restricts iCloud Backup. Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management to see a list of installed profiles."

We look forward to your reply.

Take care.
