how to backup iphone to icloud using itunes on computer?

My iPhone has a dead screen. It needs to be replaced. An employee at the Apple Store told me I can back my phone up using iTunes on a computer. I can not figure out how to do this. Once I backup my phone to icloud I will get a new phone. Until then I have 13000 files I will lose. Please help.

iPhone 7 Plus

As per this article https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT207428

Some information is not included in an iCloud backup but can be added to iCloud and shared across multiple devices like Mail, Health data, call history4, and files you store in iCloud Drive.


So the method suggested by service centre https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/itunes/itns3280/windows

Will work for certain files ,Other media files (such as songs, videos and some photos) aren’t backed up,

And you plan to purchase a new iPhone and want to set up see the articles https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202033
