    If you didn't back it up, you don't.

    Have you synced to iTunes on your computer recently?

    If you did not have iCloud backup turned on then iTunes will backup your device before syncing..

    It is only possible to do so if you have backed it up on your PC/Mac...

    If you have, reply me to get the procedure

    Have you looked on iCloud to see what is left?

    iCloud don't backup data automatically from time to time

    you only get 5GB free iCloud storage so unless you pay for the more data subscription

    or only use 5GB of storage on the iOS device then it would never fit

    iOS devices do backup automatically to iCloud providing:

    • iCloud Backup is turned on
    • It has a Wi-Fi connection
    • It is connected to a power source
    • The screen is off

    5GB is plenty of storage for me to backup to iCloud automatically.

    I have a 64GB iPhone & a 128GB iPad both backing up to the same iCloud account and I still have nearly 2GB free.

    This is mainly because media is not backed up and Photo Stream & iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud storage.

    Here’s what iCloud backs up:

    • Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article Which types of items can I buy in my country?.
