How are you trying to backup - directly from your device using iCloud - or locally on your PC via iTunes?


How long the backup will take is a function of how much data you need to back-up - and the bandwidth available to do so. Bandwidth, in this context, is either the speed of your internet connection - or the speed of the USB connection to your PC/Mac.


The initial backup to iCloud can typically take some hours over a “fast” (~70 mbps) internet connection - but subsequent backups are incremental - taking only minutes.
