Backup Issue Hello there, I made 200 GB by increasing the storage space on the phone I was using. But I guess the phone didn't update. Because it is still over 50 GB, it gives a warning that backup could not be made. I don't know how to fix the backup error. I need your help.

This article may help, but note the comments because some talk about the need to turn off Photo syncing first.
