If you ever acquire a new iPad you should be able to restore the new iPad from the iCloud backup, and access the iCloud data normally.
You can also go to http://icloud.com on any desktop browser, login with your Apple ID and access any files from Pages, Keynote, numbers and any custom folders you may have through there.

I expected that iCloud backup would have backed up all data files including some drawings I made with Omnigraffle, a flowcharting app. I don't see it in the cloud iCloud Drive which doesn't seem to contain much of anything, I just activated it since I finally have all my devices upgraded so I can access it.
I guess I was wrong but I thought all app documents would get backed up to iCloud (even before the advent of the new iCloud Drive).

May 29, 2015 10:54 AM in response to itinkoby Phil0124,When the iPhone backups to iCloud its does so in a packaged file. You cannot see the contents of the backup file through iCloud Drive, but it should tell you it has backed up, in Settings->iCloud->Backups.
Apps that store data on iCloud Drive such as Pages and numbers a few other 3rd party ones, you can see in the folder view in iCloud, but that is not a backup.
2 different things, mostly unrelated to each other.
