My Apple ID and password are constantly asked for iCloud backup on my mini mac. This is a never ending loop and it doesn't seem back accept the Apple ID and password. I have shutdown the computer restarted it. All my other devices backup with no problem just the mini mac.

iCloud can only fully backup iOS iPhones and iPads. It can not backup macOS devices like your Mac mini.
see > What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support
and > iCloud - Official Apple Support
To fully backup your Mac mini, you need to get an external backup drive and use Time Machine.

Or.... optionally use third party cloning software like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.

What model is it? If possible, try updating to a newer version such as macOS Monterey or Ventura. If you have a newer model, update to macOS Sonoma 14.6.
