Just use iCloud backup for your phone

I'm trying to backup my phone to my computer and I can't find how to do it.

If I were you, I would not use the computer to backup the phone. The cloud is the preferred way these days and happens automatically. Remember I mentioned you can’t do both and must choose. To see if iCloud backup is turned on, on the phone go to Settings: Select your name at the top: iCloud (5th item down): scroll down to Device Backups and select iCloud Backup. Make sure that is toggled ON.

Unless you have a compelling reason you feel you should be backing up to the computer, I would just allow the phone to backup to the cloud.
