Hello terry78,


It sounds like you aren't able to see the "Back Up Now" button on your iPad and you already checked on what to do when you aren't able to back up.


It may have been moved to a different place and you can check that here:


How to back up your iPhone or iPad with iCloud


"

  1. Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
  2. Go to Settings > [your name], and tap iCloud.

iPhone showing the screen at Settings [your name]. iCloud is selected.

3. Tap iCloud Backup.

4. Tap Back Up Now. Stay connected to your Wi-Fi network until the process ends. Under Back Up Now, you'll see the date and time of your last backup. If you get an alert that you don't have enough iCloud storage space to complete the backup, follow the onscreen steps to upgrade your iCloud storage.

An iPhone showing the screen at Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup. The iCloud Backup toggle is turned on."


Regards.
