iCloud backup doesn’t include information already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memosshared photosiCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.


*-If you had turned on iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.

Two Thoughts, Based on your Reply:

  • Where else to look: External, self-storage devices (i.e. external hard drives or USB Flash Drives) or other computers (Mac or PC).



Or...



  • Schedule a Call with Apple: Rather than eMail Apple, just schedule a call with Apple. Have them get back to you.
