You can backup to iCloud without using a computer. See: How to back up your iPhone or iPad with iCloud - Apple Support


If you want the backup to be stored on your computer, see instructions in How to back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes on your PC - Apple Support


Or you can do both.


Personally I prefer the iCloud Backup as it can be set to do that automatically.
