User level: Level 1 (6 points)My automatic backups are not happening daily. My auto backup setting is toggled to the on position. Does anyone know why it isn’t backing up daily or how to fix it. I have plenty of storage left also.

Automatic backups also seem to like “routine”
Plug it in at night, with WiFi available, let the screen lock, and leave it alone.
It might take a couple of days but it will begin on it’s own.
Also, you can “force” an iCloud backup anytime you desire, but doing so will also interrupt the automatic feature’s “routine.”
