Q: Backing Up of Photos on Cloud and Itunes

I have my photos backed up to iCloud. I want to do a full iTunes backup, will this include all my photos or exclude them because they are already backed up on the Cloud?

 

Thanks

    You should be importing your pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  This is different than the backup process.

     

    The backup is designed to preserve settings n the event of a restore.  It does not save most data as useable data on your computer.

    But will my photos be in the iTunes backup or will they be excluded because they are on the cloud? Just so I know as i dont want to have to import them again after the back up.

     

    Thanks
