Iphone 6 IOS says its not backing up to Icloud but it is

I downloaded IOS9 and when I go to back up to Icloud, it says " The last backup could not be completed"
Last back up was yesterday at 7:50pm

I just went into notes and added a Test 9/18 note and then backed up. When I went into Icloud, the test 9/18 note is there.

Why is it saying the back up could not be completed?

Give it time. It's the servers. Your last back up is safe. Try a back up late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Just keep trying. I had the same issue yesterday. I backed up ok this morning. Be patient. :)

Patient...you're kidding me right? That is your Apple Ambassador response to this issue. Come'on buddy there's more to it than that, it's been doing this for days now. :crying:

Has nothing to do with any servers updating, it's a bug. I've tested and the backups are working (add a dummy contact and verify it's existence in your iCloud contacts as a test), however the iPhone will show that the backup was not completed and then show the last back up you did before the bug was introduced. Look for another update from Apple to overcome yet more "SH&T" programming by the Genius Bar. LOL
