iPad Shortcut automation for back up function

[Davidalan]

I have created a shortcut to open the settings app and take you to the “Back Up Now” function. However there is were it stops. Is there an actual function to run the back up? If so this would enable an automation to be created to run the actual back up at a specific time no matter when the last back was or the if the iPad (or phone) is hooked up to a charger.

You've done the best you can, within the limitations of Apple's Shortcuts app.

I also wished it had the functionality to actually run the backup instead of just opening a page which has the option to run a backup.
