Hello, it's my first time backing up my iphone. I have 1.57GB Free space on a 13.75GB. It's an iphone4.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1
Should take approximately 15-20 mins depending on your wifi or internet connection speed.

Depends whether you backup to iCloud or to iTunes. Backing up that amount of data to iTunes usually takes about a couple of minutes or so..depending on the speed of your computer.
Backing up via iCloud would depend on the speed of your internet connection. And might take longer that backing up to the computer.
In the end it is all relative.
Disregard what Chris has told you. He's reffering to how long an update should take. It will all depend on your computers processing speed. Could take an hour depending on what is stored to the phone. If you have very few Apps, but have 2000 photos, it could take longer cause each file, or photoe is individually sent. If you have recordings, whether video or voice, those also take a bit longer, in some cases as long as the recording itself. But generally speaking if you back up often, as you should at least once a week, it should run for about 3-7 minutes.
Do your backup and report back to this thread and see who you should have disregarded.....
I got it backed up, finally. It took forever! I was just worried, bc I haven't done it since I got my phone and I have about 3500 photos. Thank you!
Glad to hear!!! I recommend that you set a weekly reminder on your phone to remind you to plug your phone in and do a back up. This will help in many ways...
Regular back ups will
How long does backing up usually take?
