I want to download my iPhone iCloud backup to store it in my Mac, how do I do this?

I have my phone back-up to iCloud, but I want to save the backup in my Mac. I can't seem to figure it out.

Sorry, this can't be done. You'll have to create a separate backup on your Mac, check this article about how to do that:

However, you can copy data from iCloud to your Mac:
