The new Photos.app will be able to store your photo library in iCloud, yes. But that will not be a backup. That will be the working copy, accessed from all your devices. You will still need a local copy of your photos as a backup. Only a remote copy in the cloud will not be safe, for several reasons:
- Any change you do to your library will be reflected immediately in the cloud. If you mess the library up, the copy in iCloud will have the same issue. You need archival, additional copies.
- Second, If there are network troubles, you may not be able to access the cloud backup, when you need it most.
- Restoring a large library from that cloud will take a very long time.
- Finally, you have no control over Apple's servers.
