What's an iWord and why can't it be backed up?

My apologies, I see I've misread it. Still don't know what iWork is. Surely what the question referred to was obvious

Oh, so I did understand correctly that it's Apple's version of Word etc.

My question was why one can't back up one's data though. I'm even more confused now that I know it refers to Pages/Keynote/etc. since those have always been file-based so far as I've seen from classmates who used it. Surely even Apple allows downloading your documents and spreadsheets from whatever storage front-end their live editing server uses?
