How do I access the cloud backup?

Question

I had a catastrophic hard drive failure recently, and am rebuilding my computer with a new drive. My external back up is almost 2 years old, but my Quicken would back up to a cloud each time I used it. Now, I'm seeing online that there is no automatic cloud back up. If not, then what was Quicken doing with my data?  If that's incorrect,  how do I backup from the cloud?

Nope - clearly says it is not a backup....And your external backup is 2 years old - well - 
what about all your other data, docs, photos, files, etc ??

BTW - I do a full disk image backup every month - 
alternating between two external drives. 
 I also do a monthly copy of my /Docs  /Photos  /Music  /Download 
My data storage is important to me - so I back it up -

Depending on where your OneDrive accessed the Quicken file - the actual QDF file, or any of the auto backups - you may still have problems....The Quicken QDF file does not play well with the cloud backup services - you get a backup of the file.... but it may be corrupted and trashed.
