How do I back up my entire iPhone to iCloud?

How do I back up my entire iPhone to iCloud? I would like to back up the entire iPhone 11 (not just the photos but everything - ie. a real full backup of the entire phone). It should be about 200GB in size.


However, when I follow the instructions from Apple about how to back the phone up, my phone says that the backup size is only 1.7GB.


I'm not sure how to do it.

The backups are compressed, and if your photos are already synced with iCloud, they would not be included in the backup.


If you need them to be included in the backup, you would need to turn off iCloud Photos in Settings ➜ Photos.
