My 4S hasn't backed up since May 17th. Not sure why. Plugged my phone in last night and manually started the back-up before I went to sleep. When I woke this morning it just had a statement, not an error or warning, telling me how iCloud back up works. And it did not back-up. I've had the phone since it came out last year and it's been working just fine. Why all of a sudden has it stopped working properly? I don't even back-up my photos to iCloud. I have 22.3GB available out of 25GB.

Regarding your photos - always sync them to a computer for archive, don't rely on iCloud. You can try turning on Photo Stream for easy syncing or use the USB connection to iTunes.


Have you done a "reboot" of you iPhone (press home and power buttons until the Apple icon appears (not before). That might fix the problem.
