In addition to setting up Time Machine you should enable iCloud storage, get another USB Drive for copies of important files and if you can, get another USB SSD to make a clone of your boot disk. If you can keep the drive with important files off site so much the better
iCloud is NOT a back up solution as it will not store any settings or Mac OS or applications. For documents it's okay HOWEVER DO NOT rely on it as a backup solution.
