How do I backup iCloud manually???

Hello MADDOG760,

Please check out this link, which explains how to manually back up to iCloud, and may help: How to back up your iPhone or iPad with iCloud

1. Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.

2. Go to Settings > [your name], and tap iCloud.

3. Tap iCloud Backup.

4. Tap Back Up Now. Stay connected to your Wi-Fi network until the process ends. Under Back Up Now, you'll see the date and time of your last backup. If you get an alert that you don't have enough iCloud storage space to complete the backup, follow the onscreen steps to upgrade your iCloud storage.

Thanks!
