What causes an iCloud to fail and how to prevent it?

Some other ways to prevent data loss are:
Free Up Your iCloud Storage
We often don't realize that we are short on storage space and keep trying to back up iCloud data. The default version of iCloud comes limited unless you upgrade it to the unlimited storage plan(of course, not for FREE). So if you don't want to spend extra money, free up some of your iCloud storage space by deleting the unnecessary stuff you don't want to keep.
The following are steps you need to take to free up your storage space:
First, go to Settings on your device.
Now go to Your Name, and then iCloud.
From there, tap Manage Storage.
You should be able to see a detailed, color-coded breakdown of how much storage space you have left.
More importantly, you will see which of your apps is eating up more space.
See-through the storage details, and if there is any app that you think isn't absolutely necessary to keep, you may get rid of that app. You might have a native app already running for a similar purpose, so there is no need for redundancy, costing you your valuable iCloud backup space.
What to Do When iCloud Backup Failure isn't Storage-Related?
The most common issues in iCloud backups are Wi-fi issues. The iCloud is designed to the only backup on a Wi-fi connection. If you try to back up your storage on your phone’s data connection, the iCloud will fail.
So if you are ever facing iCloud issues, the first thing you should do is check if your phone is connected to the Wi-fi and disconnect your data.
You are not connected to your Wi-fi? Connect it now! Are you connected to your Wi-Fi? Well, you might have another problem.
Wrapping Up
Using the methods above, you can fix your iCloud Backup failure's problem and store your precious data safely. If none of the two ways work out, try out the iMazing backup solution, and you will have all your iOS data backup issues sorted in no time.
