You can't. iCloud is a syncing service. Although you can back up an iPhone and iPad you cannot back up a Mac to it.

Backing up with Time Machine I've connected an external disc, clicked the Time Machine logo and clicked Back Up Now. Does Time Machine also back up to the cloud at the same time? Thanks
