I started to backwards my iPad last night and went to bed. This morning it is still backing up & gives a message that there is 9 Hrs to go. Is this how the backup is supposed to be?

Yes when you back up to the cloud for the first time, it can take a long time.

did you plug the ipad to a power source and locked it?

The iPad was plugged in, however I’m unsure about locking it. I’m not that knowledgeable about doing that.

Should be the top button of the ipad, so connected to wifi, plugged to power source, locked and left alone so it backs up.
