Is it possible to restore Mac for Office 2011 from a Time Machine backup? I misplaced my key during a recent move and had to rebuild my Mac. I've attempted to restore the app along with associate files.can't seem to crack the code. I suggest reading the Take Control of Mac OS X Backups for general backup of your Mac. Just make sure you backup regularly. Set a Task to remind you. You can also use Automator and iCal to automate the process. See tutorial. As a general rule you should shut down all Office programs (including Office Notifications) before any Entourage backups.
iCloud does not offer the ability to backup a Mac computer. You can backup an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch to iCloud.
Using Microsoft Office On Mac
If you have Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive turned on, you should be able to save a document from Office to the iCloud Drive folder or move previously saved documents from other folders to iCloud Drive. You can go to Finder Preferences > Sidebar (at the top of the Preferences window) and put a checkmark in front of iCloud Drive in that preference window to make that easier. Note that saving or moving files to the iCloud Drive folder will keep a copy on your local drive and sync it to iCloud. It is not the same as having a backup because if you accidentally delete the local copy, the copy on iCloud will also be deleted.

Backing up your Mac is simple and important. We recommend it for everyone.
Back up with Time Machine
Time Machine is the built-in backup feature of your Mac. It’s a complete backup solution, but you can use other backup methods as well.

How much space do I need for a backup?
To see the size of a specific file or folder, click it once and then press Command-I. To see storage information about your Mac, click the Apple menu in the top-left of your screen. Choose About This Mac and click the Storage tab. For Time Machine backups, it's good to use a drive that has at least twice the storage capacity of your Mac.
