    Hi, having an issue where my automatic backup has stopped working, manual back up is failing also.
    There's all kinds of advise online, backing up to iTunes, deleting previous iCloud backups, deleting network settings etc.. But hasn't worked for everyone.
    Has anyone on here come across this and a fix for it?

    Sign out of iCloud, remove all apps running in the background, soft reset, sign back into iCloud, back up now.

    Had a similar issue last year when I initially purchased a new iOS device, where it would constantly fail manual and automatic backups. This is how I fixed it, go into setting -> iCloud ->storage -> manage storage, under backups delete any backups for the actual device. Once done reboot your device, plug it into power and kick of a manual backup making sure you leave it plugged in for the entire backup window.
