To truly protect your non replaceable Data
Have a 3-2-1 Rescue Plan in place and always current
3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 off site incase of natural disaster or un-natural disaster.
Each of the above should be done to a Dedicated Single Purposed External Drive
Below link is intended to augment what TM Backup does

Personally, I have a pair of SSDs that I use alternately for a weekly TM backup of my home Macs, and swap them to my office desk every week. Physical media, stored offsite.
The simplest option for a cloud backup would be to use iCloud and turn on Desktop & Documents sync, but that is syncing not a true backup.

A Cloud Based Backup may or may not suit your needs

Full Disclosure.
I do not recommend a Cloud Based Backup Strategy simple because when the Backup is really needed
More often than not, the computer is in a condition where Internet Access is iffy or too time consuming to use the Cloud Backup in a timely manner
Only the data yes. But that is because I read that it is impossible to clone the whole internal disk, due to APFS sealed system volumes (SSV), snapshots etc..
And I do wonder if Bladblazer takes all these things into account.
FWIW, Time Machine on Tahoe will not back up the OS, only the data, if that's what you're asking.

Assuming you mean Backblaze you can always ask them.
