Can't make iCloud backups for iPhone

[mivara]

The issue in bullets:

- I want to make iPhone (and iPad for that matter) backups to my iCloud account
- I have enough free space on there to do so
- I connect my iPhone 6S to iTunes via cable
- I select iCloud as the backup option
- I start the process of backup'ing now
- The process finishes

Afterwards iCloud is still set as the way I do backups but under Newest backups (Nyeste sikkerhedskopier in Danish on my screendump) the newest one, from seconds ago (9.50), is made locally. That's the problem. iTunes doesn't do what I tell it to.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried doing an iCloud backup from the phone itself?

as C DM says try OTA - then backup to your mac - next delete the iCloud backup and try OTA again plugged in to mains

The point of iCloud backup is so you don't have to connect to your pc/mac. What are you trying to accomplish?
