Guide: How to Enable and Trigger iCloud Backups in iOS 8
iOS 8 users can now back up their devices without having to connect to a Mac or PC with iTunes by enabling iCloud Backup. When enabled, iOS automatically switches back up your data every day, but users can also manually back them up at any time. If you have just upgraded to iOS 8, you might be wondering where the option for a manual iCloud backup is located. In iOS 7, the ability to perform a manual iCloud backup was found at Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. However, with iOS 8 there is a new dedicated iCloud storage menu where you can see the contents of your backups, but the option to “Go Back Up Now” is missing. To find the option of a manual iCloud backup in iOS 8, go to Settings > iCloud > Backupup and that’s a new menu at the bottom of the iCloud settings list. Here you can enable iCloud backups which will disable automatic backups that your iPhone or iPad may be configured to run when connected to your PC or Mac with iTunes. However, once turned on, no backup from your iPhone or iPad until the next scheduled backup interval. To be your first backup in this process and activate manual iCloud backups in the future, just tap Back Up Now. The backup process will begin and you will see a handy progress bar appear with an estimated time to completion. ..
