Taking backup is necessary for all the smartphones. Because it is part of the smartphone's security settings/practices.It is very important to take backup before upgrading to the new version of your smartphone OS. for an example, if you are planning to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 mobile then you should consider taking backup. Otherwise you may lose your valuable date when you are moving from one os to another os as upgrade. It is also useful for those who are using technical previews of Windows 10 mobile OS. It is not that simple, people say, if you ask windows lumia smartphone users or windows phone os running smartphone users.Is it same for other type of smartphone operating systems. yes it is. Why people are disapointed about taking backups of their phones? Because they didn't practice taking backups since they bought the smartphone. That is where the problem starts. Because they used to start taking backup after using the phone for few months or even years. But maximum they fails to take backup in cloud. Do you know why?

"There was problem backing up your settings, Try again later"
Because there are some apps which may make problems to the backup procedures or functions. We can't simply identify them. We can only identify them, if we used to take backup since we bought the smartphone. After installing a new app try to take backup. If it is successful you can relax, but if it is not, then you need to contact the app developers to correct it or until they fix that issue you have to remove that app from your smartphone to take backup.
Note: If you have installed Viber or Whatsapp on your windows smartphone. Uninstall them. After uninstalling them, Go and Click backup now. Sometime it works
You may find many solutions saying if you do this you will not find problem in taking backup. Such as change the lock screen to default one, uninstall this app, uninstall that app. Use wifi instead of 3G data..etc But they will not work for everyone because we all don't use same kind of apps as solutions to our need/problems. We use different apps. So it is very difficult. So the best way is to reset your smartphone to the stage when you bought the phone (option in Settings/About). Then start taking backup from zero. Which means if you add a new contact details, take backup. If you install a new app, take backup. if you update an old app, take backup. Like that make sure doing this regularly. After installing all the required apps you can schedule taking backup monthly or weekly or if it is required. Then you will not end up in a situation like today.
Are you afraid of loosing your data to solve this problem? Then uninstall all the installed games, non social media apps, apps which were not developed by microsoft(3rd Party apps). Now go and take the backup. if it is successful then your problem is solved. After that you have to install all the deleted apps and games one by one by taking backups at the same time.
