How to Restore my Macbook pro from iCloud backup
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0
Apple offers iCloud Backup for iPhones and iPads but not for Mac computers. You can sync data from a Mac to iCloud but there isn't a "restore" option as the synced data is the same on iCloud as on the Mac.
It is possible to sync data from a Mac to iCloud if you turn on those options (e.g., iCloud Photos, iCloud Drive including the Desktop & Documents option). Syncing has some of the benefits of a backup (and the benefit of being offsite) but is not the same as a backup. Major differences include the fact that not everything on your Mac can be synced and the fact that if you delete something, accidentally or otherwise, there is only a limited time period (30 days in most cases) during which it can be recovered.
