Generally speaking, your cloud data will not disappear. But cloud service provider shuts down or goes bankrupt, then yes, your cloud data will disappear once they turn off the servers. 

In my opinion, if you don't have a backup, you won't be able to restore anything if you accidentally overwrite something or lose access to your cloud storage account. Therefore, according to the 3-2-1 backup strategy, you still need a backup even if you use the cloud.

Undoubtedly, cloud storage has many advantages:

  • Cloud backup is easy.
  • Cloud storage is cost-effective. 
  • When you store your data in the cloud, it is quick and easy to recover.

But you still need a backup. It asks for an internet to access the cloud data. Just imagine there is an urgent need for cloud backup data, but the internet is unavailable.

Therefore, even if you use the cloud, you need an extra backup. If you want to create a backup, you can use the Windows built-in backup tool, such as File History and Backup and Restore. It is worth noting that these two backup tools have no advanced backup options and no cloud storage. In that case, you can try professional backup software, like EaseUS Todo Backup.

EaseUS Todo Backup is a practical and multi-functional backup and restore tool. It can help you automatically back up your files, disks, partitions, systems, etc., and store the backups in diverse locations, such as the Cloud, NAS, Security Zone., and the local drive.

In a word, you still need a backup if you use the cloud.
