I keep getting a message that my iPad has not been backed up to icloud

I keep getting a message on my iPad that my iPad 3 running iOS 6.0.1 has not been backed up to iCloud for 2 or 3 weeks even though Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup indicates that the iPad has been backed up that very same day. Generally the iPad backs up every day, automatically, when plugged in and locked. I get the messages about once per week.
Another iPad 2, running iOS 5 backs up to the iCloud on the same account and we get no similar messages on this iPad.
To be on the safe side I also backup both iPads to iTunes at least once per week.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening.

synching your iPhone to your computer has nothing to do with iCloud backups.
Force an iCloud backup: Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Back up Now
Be sure that Settings>iCloud>Storeage and Backup>iCloud Backup> is ON

I keep getting a MSG that my device has not been backed up. Going thru manage iCloud I see ther are two backs (one for cell and iPad). They both say "incomplete ". If I delete them cloud backups will stop and I assume I will need to go back to the control.
Has anyone else experienced this?

After deleting the backups, go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure iCloud Backup is set to On (if not, turn it on).

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try restarting the phone and trying again.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.

Do a hard reset by holding down the power and home buttons for 10+ seconds. You'll know it worked when the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears.

If you've changed your password and it still shows disabled then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
