Time machine and iDisc backup

I store all my files in my iCloud Drive. When I backup my computer using time machine, does it also back up all my files in my iDisc? If so, how would I know it actually backed it up? Also, is it backing up all my photos in iCloud? Thank you

It will only backup files that are on your Mac, if your mac isn't optimised then the iCloud Drive files are mirrored on your Mac and can be included in a backup, if your files are optimised they are aren't backed up by time machine but are considered safe in the cloud.


That being said, files that have been on your Mac will be retained by the backup until they are removed over time because of size restrictions.
