icloud the last backup could not be completed

On my 6s+ I keep getting the icloud error. the last backup could not be completed. I cannot get it to backup. Could this have anything to do with being jailbroken? I'm hesitant to restore as I will loose my jailbreak.

When I've had that issue in the past I deleted the previous backup from my iCloud storage. Then backing up worked fine after that.

Yep, you might be nearing capacity on your iCloud storage. Hence the error...

I've seen that a couple times. I usually just start it again and it works.

Just redo it it fails sometimes but if you do it again it works. Sometimes the wifi connection dies before it can be completed.

I always have trouble with iCloud backups, either they fail or I get a warning about not having enough space. Such a pain, I just back up to iTunes, which is not the most convenient but at least it works

I keep having the same issue on my 6s, iOS10.3.

deleted the latest backup but no go.

My iTunes gives me an error when I try and backup via iTunes.

If you are confronted with the error message saying "the last backup could not be completed" while backing up iPhone to iCloud, you'd find some solutions.

Check if the device is connected to Wi-Fi. Then go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup and tap Back Up Now. If you’re using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and tap Back Up Now. This should solve the error message.*If the error still pops up, I think you might try other ways rather than iCloud, to backup your iPhone. It is a good choice to backup iPhone to PC. And you can do that with some data transfer app.

Personally, I wouldn’t trust anything outside of iTunes, which is the only official non-iCloud way to back up an iPhone. Just my two cents here but handing over my phone data to anyone else seems sketchy to me.

I suffered this too for 1 year. Apple now have iCloud storage $1 for 50gigas.
