Go to System Preferences > iCloud > Mail and check mark it. But iCloud isn't meant as a backup and if you use it your Mail will be stored in the cloud and not on your Mac. iCloud is a syncing feature meant to keep certain files up to date across all your devices.

If you use Mac's built-in TIme Machine your Mail is already backed up along with everything else. If not you should use it because loosing all your files is no fun.
