Well, the advice I posted was 2 years ago, so insert the following before the first step:
If it doesn't appear try different USB ports.

Install the latest version of iTunes on your Windows 7 or later computer. Connect the phone using the cable, click on its icon in iTunes.
Then click the Backup Now button in iTunes. If you want to include health app data and stored passwords you must check Encrypt Backup first. Don’t forget the backup password, because you will not be able to restore the backup without it.

Thanks for the help, I succeeded in getting to the backup function. However, I do have some comments that might help others like me who haven't your experience.
1. To get to "Preferences" I had to select "Edit" first. this is on the second "bar" down from top.
2. After selecting the tick box, select "OK" - some of us have to be told to do this.
3. I couldn't see the "Icon" to select until I realized it was on the third"bar" down from top.
For me it is a pity I-Tunes is so named, it suggests (to me) that it only deals with music not other functions. Anyway, many thanks.
The backup location is fixed on the c: drive (although there are ways to trick it to save in a different location). I can find a link to the location, but not right now. Knowing where it‘s located isn’t all that useful, because it is not in a user readable format. It’s a binary SQLite database.
That’s not how you back up an iOS device. Connect the phone using the cable, click on its icon in iTunes. Then click the Backup Now button in iTunes. If you want to include health app data and stored passwords you must check Encrypt Backup first. Don’t forget the backup password, because you will not be able to restor the backup without it.
Thank you so so much for posting these instructions on here. These are the easiest ones I have found and I finally got my iPhone backed up. It's an iPhone 6s plus and has been running so slow I can't even send pictures. Also Apple has rigged it to slow them down. Thank you again. 😇
What happens when you try? Do you have Windows 7 or later? Have you gotten the latest iTunes from https://apple.com/itunes?
It didnt work for me man. The icon never showed up...
I'm having the same issue and have done all of these things and nothing seems to work.
Thank you so much for this! It's as if Apple sets out to make it as hard as possible to navigate iTunes. :-(
where does it gets stored in the back up device? Like if I am backing this up onto my windows laptop, where does it go by default? Can you give the path where it goes?
My issue is that when I go to File and look under Devices, the option to click "Backup" is not available. Is there a way to solve this?
