I try to buy new iPhone 12, and try to back up all the data from my old iPhone 8 to iCloud. The data including photos is about 55 to 60 mb on iPhone 8 and my iCloud capacity is 200gb.
What is best way to back up (move) all the data from iPhone 8 to iCloud (or PC)?
Thanks in advance for help..
Cancel the backup and you can start it over again. To make sure wi-fi does not go to sleep, connect the iPhone to power? Do have the time and ability to let this run overnight. Just connect the iPhone to power like you would charge overnight, and start the backup. Unless you have terrible wi-fi, it should not take that long. Before starting it again, I would force restart the iPhone to clear things up. Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
lobsterghost1 has a great idea about your wi-fi and a friend.

Thanks for the link. I read the article earlier and try to back up iPhone data to iCloud.
To back up the data (55-60 mb) from my old iPhone 8 to iCloud, it is taking 20 hours (it increases more and more hours) by wi-fi at home. Is it normal to takes 20 or more hours? I think our wi fi speed is about 0.5mb/ sec.
Thanks!
If this is the first time that you ever backed up to iCloud, the answer is probably yes. Also, make sure that you are connected to a stable wi-fi and that you connect your iPhone to power to ensure the wi-fi does not go to sleep during the backup.
Thanks for reply.
Yes, it is first time to back up to iCloud. It is not clear we are connected to stable wi fi at home but doesn't have other problem. Also, how can I make sure wi fi does not go to sleep during backup?
Also, the time to be finished to backup is getting increasing. Last night it was 20 hours and now it is more than one day remaining...
Thanks.
I'd check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider). .5mb/sec seems unbelievably slow in this day and age. No wonder why your backup is taking a loooooong time. My ISP provides 200mb/sec standard.
If your internet speed is truly that low, maybe go visit a friend who has faster internet and enjoy their company, while your phone backs up.
Thanks for reply.
The speed is 2.5~ 3.5 Mbps from fast.com. We will check with ISP tomorrow.
That is honestly ridiculously slow for Wifi.
