How do I see the backup files on icloud?

I looked at i cloud on my PC but I don't see them. My ipad says it backed up successfully. Where are the files?

Thank you. Is there any way to download them? I used the backup because I wanted a copy of my files before I have to return this iPad to my school. I backed them up to my personal iCloud. Are you saying I have no access to them unless I have another iPad and restore them? I can’t put them on my Windows PC?

To my knowledge you can't access any files contained within a backup and you would have to restore the backup to another, matching device (iPad in your case) in order to access the data. What files/data are you concerned about? If you turned on the associated iCloud options then those items would be stored separately from the backup such as photos, notes etc.
