Why are there missing photos after backing up
I backed up my iPhone XS yesterday since I needed to transfer all data to my new iPhone 12 Pro Max but then I noticed there were photos missing in my camera roll. How can I retrieve it?

Where was it backed up? iTunes or iCloud?
Your post does not specify exactly the process adopted by you to take a backup.
If it is not in the Recently Deleted Album then either you have deleted them 30 days earlier or have never deleted any.
Please check the following
- If you have restored your iPhone with a backup which does not contain the Photos that you are looking for then please look for correct backup on your PC/Mac --> Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple ...
- If you have restored from iCloud backup, then note the following
- iCloud backup doesn’t include information that is synced and stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memos, shared photos, iCloud 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.
- Probably you may have un-synced photos with Mac / PC, sync them again
- Have you ever imported your photos to Mac/PC and used Delete after Import --? Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod ...
- Do you have a backup (iTunes) --> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup ...
- Have you ever uploaded them to any Cloud Drives Cloud Drives (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox, Flickr, box, Amazon Drive, Adobe Creative Cloud etc.?)
- At last but not the least, check the Apple ID that you have signed into your device.
