First increase your iCloud plan from the free 5GB to 50 or higher depending on the total used memory value of the two devices

iPhone Settings, [your name], iCloud, manage storage, change storage plan

Then in iPhone Settings, [your name], iCloud, iCloud Backup turn it on.

Make sure you leave the devices on charge and on Wi-Fi every night, all night
