You need to interact with your iPhone during backups, updates, syncing and so on.

That said, it also depends on the damage seriousness (if it fell to the ground, other internal components could have been compromised).

If you can't back it up, make an appointment at an Apple Store or AASP (they are reopening) and explain your problem. They'll give you all the available options.
