Edward, I had this same problem; I went to a friend’s home on their wireless and was able to back up. I had to reset my router. I suggest you do that and retry the backup. You may not notice the internet being slow, but sometimes this fixes the issue. Unplug and reset the router, try again, and report your results.

Hello Marcy, My backup reports that the last backup failed and lets me know that the last backup was on February 6, 2013 at 12:51 AM. I am pretty frustrated with this backup issue. Sieghard reported that there is a way to delete the content of a previous backup, but the only delete that I see is delete the account. Any additional light on this issue would be helpful. Also, if a person installs the dropbox app, is one able to backup to the dropbox?

This has happened over and over again despite my efforts to limit what is actually backed up. Do members pay for additional iCloud service, or do you use alternative methods for backing up your iPhone? I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
