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

Time Machine is a local backup for your Mac.
It can be use to fully restore your Mac or Migrate to a new Mac.

No. Time Machine can't back up to the cloud.

As mentioned Time Machine is your backup. iCloud is NOT a backup plan, it is a method to make data available on multiple devices simultaneously.
