Extended icloud backup

I have done the full back up to icloud of all apps and data in preparation for my new iphone 14 pro max. Phones arrives Friday, what about backups between now and then?

It took like 10 hours to backup all apps all data (things I don't usually backup). I do a nightly backup of the the key things. Will the nightly backup overwrite the BIG backup? Since the new phone doesn't have a physical SIM, it will have to the backup that loads the data.

It took 10 hours because it was your first time backing up to the cloud.


What do you mean nightly backup of key things, and big backup.

My phone is set to Icloud Backup on so it automatically backs up apps and data tot he Icloud when connected to power an wi-fi, it does that every night. I got a message in my settings to Backup a FULL backup that will be deleted 21 days later or 7 days after I activate my new phone. I have never had this before. I get a new Iphone year;y.
