Make sure your computer is completely up to date, first.

This should help: Set up iCloud Drive - Apple Support

iCloud is not meant as a backup solution, rather it is a syncing service to keep certain files up to date across all your devices. For a complete backup solution use Time Machine or a cloning software like SuperDuper! or CarbonCopy Cloner.

I use Dropbox Plus for simple backup tasks. iCloud tends to complicate things IMO.
