It depends a lot on what type of cloud it is.

IaaS - they deliver a VM to you and you install the OS, applications
and do the backups. The backup may likely use some other cloud
service, but still your problem to setup and test.

PaaS / managed service / FaaS / SaaS - yes most likely backup will be
their responsibility.
