Problem with Time Machine drive spinning down

I’m wondering if it’s possible to use TM on iCloud

Alas, no. For speculation, see:

Time Machine backups in iCloud?

I’ve never heard any rumblings that Apple is considering Time Machine in iCloud, but it would make sense to me as a way for Apple to encourage customers to pay for more cloud storage. Obviously, iOS backups can already go to iCloud, and Apple had an offsite Backup app in the MobileMe days (though it wasn’t any good). So it’s not unthinkable. (See the comments on this article for more on MobileMe Backup.)
