No, at least not unless you're paying for a cloud backup service. Apple have their iTunes Match and Apple Music services which can match/upload your music and playlists but that isn't a bitwise copy of your library. You should back your iTunes library and all other data that matters to you to another resource such as an external drive, preferably two, so that you can recover your library in the event of a disaster such as a lost or stolen machine, failed drive, etc.
