I solved my problem by locating the backup and moving it to my Windows bootcamp and restoring from there. My issue was that itunes was not restoring because of some error.

Hi, I have the same issue. My itunes are not restoring the latest backup. How do i transfer the backup to icloud?. icloud is working fine.

PLEASE HELP ON THIS.

You cannot transfer an iTunes backup to iCloud backup. You can make an iCloud backup on the device, but that’s it.

Hi,
I have the same issue and although it is not difficult, the solution is to purchase a software that simply look at your backup file and let you select photos, contacts etc and to move to another iPhone. I didn't decide to purchase it since I did expect to do it using a standard and free solution.

That has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Is there any way to over backup stored on iTunes to the iCloud so i can restore my iPhone through the iCloud? Thanks

Yes. I got the idea from this article https://www.imore.com/how-move-your-iphone-or-ipad-backups-external-hard-drive then modified it to point to iCloud Drive. There's a perfectly good reason to backup this way. The backup to folder is a complete backup as opposed to iCloud backups.

Not the topic at hand. The poster wants to make their iTunes backup be an iCloud backup. IN which you can actually restore from iCloud backup. Its impossible.

No, what i am looking for is a way to transfer a backup from iTunes to the iCloud

Why would you want to do this though? All that's gonna happen if you're gonna lose all your data prior to the backup.

Because this is the first link that popped up on google I thought I'd post a possible solution.

create "backup MobileSync" folder in iCloud Drive. Drag and drop backups from original MobileSync to the new folder in the iCloud Drive. You now have full backups of iphone backed up on iCloud.

Why would you want to do this? There is information on a "backup to mac" that is not on a backup to iCloud.

This would not work. You cannot access iCloud drive during the restore process. Thus, even if you were able to restore using this method (which you can't), you couldn't as the drive is inaccessible from the iOS set up screen. (Also this is almost a 6 year old thread).

You would need to copy the backup that you want to restore back to the original MobileSync folder, and then proceed with the restore as usual. (This thread was one of the top 3 links on google when i searched the topic and will be for others to find the relevant topic.)
