How do I get Notes to back up on iCloud?

[marshatp]

I want to back up Notes to iCloud but this does not seem to be happening even though I have selected Notes.

I have an iPhone 4s

I went into settings and selected all the things I want to back up (Photos etc) and I have selected Notes. So as far as I can see it is turned on.

When I look at the Notes App on m iPhone it lists 17 Notes on my iPhone and 0 Notes on iCloud. So it appears that they are not being backed up even though I selected Notes for backup.

When I log into my iCloud account using another PC there are no Notes.

What is am I doing wrong?
