How to back up my iphone 4 to itunes?

I'm trying to backup my phone to itunes. I'm on the webpage http://www.apple.com/...om/itunes/ after having just downloaded the latest itunes version.
My iphone is plugged into my computer.
Now I don't know how to find the icon to select to back up my iphone to itunes.
Can anyone help?

If iTunes has picked up your iPhone and the settings have not been changed, the option to backup your phone should be on the itunes screen. Open up iTunes (If it hasn't opened it automatically) and make sure that your phone is plugged in. Also make sure that you are using an actual transfer cable and not just a charger. There's a difference between the 2 USB cables. This is the #1 reason for people not being able to backup their phones. Another tip is to turn on cloud backup in itunes and on your phone (iPhone 4+) so you don't have to always plug-in your phone.
