Nobody can backup an iPhone if they cannot interact with its software via the touch screen. That’s like trying to use a computer without a keyboard or mouse - there is no way to select or execute commands on a touch screen device with no functional touchscreen.
As others have mentioned, neither you or Apple can back up your iPhone without a functioning touchscreen
Are you trying to back up your iPhone to restore it on a replacement or do you plan on upgrading?
If you were planning on replacing the damaged iPhone, you can have your touchscreen replaced at a third party repair center
No
You supposed to have periodically backup to iCloud, or iTunes in personal computer before iphone gets busted. So what other post wrote:
