Hey dekoso,


Sounds like you're needing help completing an iCloud backup, but don't have enough storage to do so. We'll be happy to help.


To check how large your next backup is, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups. Tap the device you're using and you'll see the next backup size.


After determining this, if it's larger than the available space in iCloud, you'll need to free up space before attempting an iCloud backup.


For more info, check out: If you can't back up to iCloud or if restore from iCloud backup failed


We hope this information helps out.


Take care!
