Can I access on IPad Pro data from a Mac backed up on Time Machine

I recently sold my MacBook Air M2 and am now using an IPad Pro M4 with pro keyboard as my main device .

Before selling I created a backup of my Mac on my Time Machine which is the tower style Airport Capsule with 1 tb HDD within it.

Whilst I saved my photos and media to ICloud I need to access some of the documents and letters etc which were on my Mac.

pages seems not to help accessing older letters created.

How can I do this?

My wife has a MacBook Air M1 which is using the Time Machine to do its backups so if I need to use a Mac as part of getting at the files I can, but obviously need to not disturb her backups or sign in on her device.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

Thank you so much for taking the time to show interest in my problem, I really do appreciate it.

Unless I am off tune “Finder” is a Mac opportunity rather than something that exists in the IOS domain.

Perhaps I should have not migrated away from my Mac but in so many ways Mail etc it seemed all the development had gone into IOS devices.

Thanks once again
