Apple offers iCloud Backup for iPhones and iPads but not for Mac computers.
iCloud syncing of Mac data is discussed below. The sync is dynamic -- for example if one new photo is added or deleted, that is synced immediately via iCloud Photos, then if one data file is added, deleted, changed, that is synced (via iCloud Drive -- assuming those options are turned on. There is no overall sync and I know of no date that is available for each sync.
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.
