Q: Can not backup on iCloud on my new iPad Pro

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities, conniefromphila! I see this is your first post. We're glad to have you.

It's important to be able to backup your device. I can appreciate you trying to get this solved! In this case, we have a fantastic resource that may help. Check it out here: How to back up your devices using iCloud or iTunes

Make a backup using iCloud

1. Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
2. In iOS 8 or later, tap Settings > iCloud > Backup.
   In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. 
3. Make sure that iCloud Backup is turned on.
   
4. Tap Back Up Now. Stay connected to your Wi-Fi network until the process completes.
5. Make sure the backup finished by tapping Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage, and then select your device. The backup you just made should appear in the details with the time and backup size.

Keep in mind a few requirements when backing up your device - for full details, see Get help backing up your device in iCloud:

You can set your iOS device to back up automatically each day with iCloud. iCloud makes these daily automatic backups only if:

• Your device is connected to a power source.
• Your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
• Your device's screen is locked. 

You can also make a backup of your device manually: 

1. Connect your device to a power source. 
2. Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network. 
3. In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Backup and tap Back Up Now. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and tap Back Up Now. 

If you're following these steps but aren't able to complete a backup or are receiving an error, you're in the right place for answers. Post any errors or trouble you're running into here.

Enjoy your weekend!
