Be aware that iCloud Photos is a syncing service and iCloud Backup is a backup service. If you have iCloud Photos turned on in a device, the photos will not also be included in iCloud Backup. See instructions in Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

iCloud Photos syncs whenever a change is made (new photo, edited photo, deleted photo). Also, you can view iCloud Photos in an internet browser by logging into iCloud.com but you cannot view the contents of an iCloud Backup. You can only use the backup to do a full restore or to setup a new device See: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
