No, there is no way to backup a Mac to iCloud.
You can however sync photos using iCloud Photos, and documents by either turning on Desktop & Documents in iCloud Settings or just moving them into the iCloud Drive folder in Finder.
Link-> Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
Link-> Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support
These options sync the content, so anything deleted from the Mac will also be deleted from iCloud.

I highly recommend you have frequent and regular backups of your computer since iCloud is not a true backup of any pictures you sync there. Apple provides the Time Machine backup software for free to back up your Apple computer.
