You can back up an iOS device to iCloud but it is not designed to back up a Mac. However, documents you save to iCloud Drive on your Mac are also saved to iCloud Drive at iCloud.com. That alone is not a good backup however because if you were to accidentally delete the document from your Mac it would also delete from iCloud. If you save the document to iCloud Drive on your Mac and if you are doing backups with Time Machine then it would be backed up locally on Time Machine and you would have a remote copy in case of fire or theft.
