On my Mac Air, there is no option to backup to iCloud, even I have 2Tb iCloud, 1.48TB free, and my Mac Air is just a 210GB

My iCloud is 1.48TB free, and my Mac is just 210GB. I have signed in on my iCloud in my Mac, but when I click on Time machine, and "add backup" then it displayed "No Available Time Machine Destinations". The "Set up disk" is not click able.

Please tell me how to do now to back up my Mac to my iCloud?

Thank you!

Macs do not backup to iCloud. While you can sync items in iCloud Drive, desktop, and documents, a Mac backup requires Time Machine (or similar) and an external drive to back up
