You can backup iPhones and iPads to iCloud if you turn to option on in each device and if you have space available in iCloud (with our withoutFamily Sharing). Sharing an iCloud storage plan may be less expensive than each person subscribing to their own plan. To setup each iPhone or iPad to backup automatically, see instructions in How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iCloud - Apple Support



Apple offers iCloud Backup for iPhones and iPads but not for Mac computers.


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.
