I'm using Bitbucket cloud. How do I backup all my team's repositories? or Does Atlassian back it up?

Atlassian backs up their data for disaster recovery purposes, but note that this isn't meant to be your backup:
Our backups are for disaster recovery purposes only. We are not able to use our backups to restore repositories that have been deleted by an end-user.
Thankfully, every copy of a Git or Mercurial repository contains the full history of your code:
One of the great features of distributed version control systems (DVCS) such as Git and Mercurial is that they're distributed. Backups are still very important, but consider that every person on your team that has forked your repository has a complete copy with a full history.
If you use Bitbucket wikis those can be backed up similarly since they are repositories too.
If you use Bitbucket issues you can use the import / export feature to back them up.
