My Mini got into a tizz over this; got to 4 weeks, got an Ok button, and wouldn't go away for anything; so couldn't get into the device to do anything. If mine is trying to backup all app data, it won't; there's tens of gigs of music in something other than iTunes. So it would never fit, so it would always fail, but waste all the limited wifi bandwidthin trying. So in the end, I held the two real button - home and power - until it rebooted; and I got to the unlock button before the backup message got there. So I got in, got into settings, and switched the bogger off! Can do it in iTunes if I really must, but got a sweat on when I tried to turn off backing up app data, as it wanted to then delete anything I hadoff the device. Maybe it should make it clearer what it wants to delete, but deleting it just cos I've got it on iCloud hardly seems fair.

I tried to manually back it up using settings, icloud, backup, and after about 15 minutes and getting to 5%, a message came up saying the backup has failed. I know it says the backup happens when the phone is locked, on wifi, and plugged in. I believe it has sat charging all night during this time and no backup. What do I need to do? Thanks.
