There are following steps through which users can back up their iPhone data on Windows system:
Step 1: Download and install the 'iTunes' application from apple's website on your system. The iTunes application preserves the settings, saved images/camera roll, plus the other essential data. It is used for backing up data on Windows.

Step 2: Make a connection between your iPhone and system either by a USB cable (wired connection) or setting up the Wi-Fi syncing for a wireless connection. But if you are setting Wi-Fi syncing for the first time, it is required to use a USB cable for once to make a setting in iTunes application for enabling wireless syncing for your iPhone. Just do it once and enjoy wireless connection ever after.
Step3: After connecting, open the iTunes app on your system, and near the top left of the iTunes window, an 'iPhone' icon or button appears. Click on it as shown in the below snippet:

Check the ‘Latest Backup’ and confirm your backup. Generally, the iTunes application automatically takes the back up of your iPhone data when connected with the system. But, it is the manual option to back up data whenever required.
Step 5: If your iOS version is above 3.0, you get an option ‘Encrypt local backup’. It will help to secure your back up data. Click on it, and it will ask to provide a password for protection. Provide the password and click on Set Password, as shown below:
