It’s easy to just backup your iPhone to iCloud, but there is a proper way to do it so you have little to no problems in case you need it.
Here is the proper way to backup your device to iCloud:

There is no 100% failsafe solution, but this method has always worked for me and gave me a reliable backup to fall back to.
