How to confirm icloud backup on 2015 Macbook pro?
I am not seeing a last update 'date' as you would on newer models. I have the 2015 13" macbook pro.
When I am in iCloud, where is that info?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

Apple offers iCloud Backup for iPhones and iPads but not for Mac computers.
Synced data should update as changes occur. For example a change in Photos should update Photos but not iCloud Drive, or Contacts, etc.
iCloud.com displays the last update date/time for Photos but does not display that information for other types of updates.
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.
