You can use the backup to do a full restore -- see: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

or to set up a new device: Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

You cannot view the data at iCloud.com like you can with synced data (e.g., iCloud Photos Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support , iCloud Contacts Set up iCloud for Contacts on all your devices - Apple Support , etc.).
