    iCloud can be used to backup an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. A restore to one of those devices replaces the data currently on the phone with the contents of the back. It isn't possible to do a restore of only a single file.

     

    iCloud does not backup Macs. Since you posted the question in the iMac forum but referenced iCloud backup, it isn't clear exactly what it is that you are wanting to do. You may want to reply with more information.
