I have a few thoughts to share with you which may be useful. (1) it is important to know that using iCloud does not back up data, although it does have some back up features. iCloud mirrors what you have in your devices for cross platform sharing. (2) To back up your computer, you should back up to an external device. You can use an app such as Apple's Time Machine to do that, or you can even back up yourself manually. (3) I personally would not use Wi-Fi for backing up. as it is a bit slow. I think it's better to back up to a wired device. It's more reliable.
