If you had enabled iCloud Photos then the Photos are not backed up.


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