Q: "the last backup could not be completed"

I noticed my iPhone 3GS has stopped backing up (It is connected to a power source and has WiFi connection).

 

I tried to manually back up to iCloud, but I get the following message after several minutes; "the last backup could not be completed."

 

Today, I restored my iPhone and downloaded iOS 5.1. I still have the same issue. I deleted the old backup in iCloud and tried it again - and still the same message.

 

Any ideas how to solve this?

    Thanks, donbarrett, resetting this way helped on my iPad, too.

    Just rebooting had not helped.

    Thank you, Richpharm!

    Like others I kept getting the "backup could not be completed" message.  Came here. Saw your suggestions. Plugged my phone in to recharge - and VIOLA! my backup completed!   Bravo Zulu.  Joni

    Hello, I had to call Apple Support recently, because I still cannot backup to I-cloud using my Iphone 6.  Tried all kinds of things.  The Sr. Advisor with Apple escalated the problem to engineering.  I hope they will fix the problem.  I am still waiting since April 04, 2016.  It is now April 12.  How did you get them to handle your case so fast?  I am still waiting for a response.  Called and left several messages, but no response.
