Cannot back up iPhone 11 Pro to MacBook Pro

All devices fully updated. I connected my iPhone 11 Pro to my MacBook Pro with Catalina.


When I click on my iPhone in the Finder window it only gives me the option to set up as new or restore from an old phone's backup.


I want to do neither, I just want to back it up as a backup to the iCloud backup...


Thanks for any help.

Choose to set it up as new. Every time I've chosen that option, I'm just taken to the iTunes (now Finder) screen for the iPad where I have the option to back it up.
