Hello ade65,

If you're unable to back up your device to iCloud, please check out this link, which has some information and suggestions that can help with backup issues: If you can't back up to iCloud

If your iCloud backup is taking longer than expected to complete

1. In iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Check that you're connected to Wi-Fi.

2. Check your upload speed.

3. Leave your device connected to power and Wi-Fi for 24 hours. If your backup still isn't done, archive important data then contact Apple Support.

Thanks!
