If you are using the Backup now option you don't need to (and cannot) lock it.


If you are wanting it to automatically backup while charging and connected to wi-fi, either press the right side button or do what I do -- just let it lock itself automatically based on the time chosen in Settings > Display > Auot-Lock.
