Hi MG13HA,


You won't be able to initiate a backup without your device functioning. Backups need to be done before your device is damaged.


If your iPhone was already set to backup to iCloud, iCloud backups are performed when your iPhone is locked, on Wi-Fi, and on the charger:

You can use another device to check for backups:
