iCloud backups will occur automatically once every 24 hours whenever the iPhone is plugged in to an external power source, the screen is in sleep mode and you have a wifi network connection.


You cannot schedule them per se. But, if you manually make a backup one night and from then on just leave it plugged in overnight, it should update around the same time every day.
