Wat?
Time Machine is for backing up a macOS machine incrementally to local/local network storage.
iCloud Backup is for backing up iOS devices to remote storage.
There is zero overlap between these tools.
- dfee 9y agoNah, read my other comment. On the Mac it's called iCloud Drive. It backs up your home directory, with exceptions you allow for. I have a dotfiles git repo I use, in addition to personal repos I check into. I'm not sure what I'm missing (I don't spend a lot of time messing around with manual configurations that aren't checked into my dotfiles git repo).
- stephenr 9y agoiCloud drive isn't a backup service. Its a file sync service. Sync != Backup.
