One of the many ways that you could choose to back up your crytocurrency seed phrase would be to back it up to the Cloud. Although Cloud storage is not risk-free, proper encryption of your seed phrase before storing it there lowers the risk and makes it an option that you might consider.

TL;DR (concentrated takeaways)

If you rely on Cloud storage for backing up your seed phrase, you must encrypt it first - else it is extremely poorly protected. Cloud storage is a target!

It is critical that any computer that you use for encryption, or for viewing your seed phrase, be free from malware.

Although Cloud storage is convenient and robust, it has risks largely due to its complexity and by how much potential access could accidentally or maliciously be granted to data stored there.

There is a potentially overwhelming array of options and tools available to perform encryption.

Password managers can be effective and convenient for some secrets, but their operation must also be well-understood in order to provide the safety that they are meant to provide.

For anything that you encrypt, you must keep and store a backup of the decryption key (too)!

On the surface, the peace of mind given by Cloud providers gives by taking responsibility of long-term digital file storage looks like making the Cloud the perfect place to store your seed phrase. However, news reports cover with alarming frequency tales about information being stolen from various Cloud storage repositories, whether due to inappropriate permission configuration, software vulnerabilities, or even insider theft by employees with authorized access to computer systems, networks, or recycled hardware.
Cloud security can be excellent, but it is not perfect - especially the parts that rely on human diligence. This is why it is necessary for your sensitive information to be stored in the Cloud and be encrypted before being placed there, If someone were to gain unauthorized access to your Cloud files, but those files were strongly encrypted, he would not be able to read the contents.
Cloud storage is great but has risks, but encryption offers some protection.
