My messages are not going to the cloud when I’m backing up my phone or tablet.

I have the messages turned on in settings. I have backed up both my tablet and phone. I have an iPhone mini 13 and an 8th generation iPad.

iPad, iPadOS 17

If you're syncing message to the cloud read here Set up iCloud for Messages on all your devices - Apple Support

NOTE - syncing message to the cloud is NOT part of the backup as outline here What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support and backups can't be viewed on the cloud.
