Hello roblovell202,
If you are backing up to iCloud then that will include files not already synchronized to iCloud. Per What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support:
iCloud helps keep your data safe in two main ways: syncing and backing up. For example, if you're using iCloud Photos, iCloud Drive, or Notes, your information automatically syncs to the cloud and is kept up-to-date across all of your devices whenever you make a change.
Any data on your device that isn't regularly synced is stored in your iCloud Backup. With Backup turned on, iCloud takes periodic snapshots of this data to make sure that it's easy to restore any time you get a new device.
Between syncing and backing up, all of your data is kept safe in the cloud.
Cheers!
