If your phone or laptop is offline or on airplane mode, Offline Backup will appear automatically in the Home tab on Spotify.

If you can't see it appearing on Spotify, make sure you've got the latest app update, have listened to at least five songs recently, and have enabled offline listening — you can find this in Settings > "Data Saving and offline" > "Offline access".
