Backing up AppleTV app to iCloud

So, ever since apple got rid of iTunes, all of my home videos are in the AppleTV app on my mac. I want to back these videos up to iCloud but I can't figure out how to do that. I want them backed up just in case something ever happens to my mac. I would hate to lose all of those precious memories and videos. Does anyone know a solutions to this?

PS- I'm not taking about backing up my actual appleTV device, I'm referring to the appleTV app that replaced iTunes on the iMac PC. I am using iMac 2015 27" model running Monterey v12.6.1 if that helps anyone.

Thank you!

If the videos are on your Mac you should use Time Machine as your primary backup. See Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support

In addition, the videos which appear in the Home Videos category in the sidebar of the TV app can be found in Finder at: Movies Folder > TV > Media > Home Videos (or you can right-click on one of the videos in the TV app and choose Show in Finder).

If you copy them to your iCloud Drive they will sync to iCloud on the web, but be sure you have the bandwidth to upload them to iCloud and enough storage space there to keep them.
