Backup not working even though devices are connected to power, wifi and locked. Is there a way to manually force backup?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14
That depends largely on:
a) what backup system you're using
b) why it's 'not working'
Are you backing up to iCloud? or to a desktop system?
If using iCloud, you can go to Settings -> AppleID -> iCloud -> Backup and click the 'Backup now' button to manually initiate a backup.
The commonest cause for iCloud backup failures is lack of space in your iCloud Drive account. Have you verified you have space there? (Settings -> AppleID -> iCloud -> Manage Storage)
