Notes won’t backup to iCloud
it tells me to go to “‘manage storage” to add notes to backup but notes it not there. I have it turned on for iCloud but it still won’t backup. Any Ideas?

Hi boydaway605,
Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're seeing a message regarding Notes and other data not being included with your iCloud backup, but you show Notes enable to sync to iCloud. I can see why you'd reach out about this message; I'd like to help. The message you're seeing isn't out of the ordinary, and usually pertains to third party apps that can also sync their data with iCloud. Notes and some other information stored in iCloud would not be included since it is synced separately:
"Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups only include information and settings stored on your device. They do not include information already stored in iCloud such as Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes, Voice Memos, Messages in iCloud, iCloud Photos, and shared photos. Some information is not included in an iCloud backup but can be added to iCloud and shared across multiple devices like Mail, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive."
I'd recommend trying the following steps:
If you're prompted about your Notes again, please provide these details:
If you log in to iCloud.com do you see your Notes data synced and up-to-date?
Do you use more than one account with Notes, such as a third-party email account? You can check this in Settings > Notes > Accounts.
Best Regards.
