You can backup to iCloud but read this for more information and make sure that you read the relevant links in the article as well. Not all of your iPad content may be backed up to iCloud so you know what is and what isn't backed up.

Have you tried rebooting your iPad?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Ana,

"So what exactly does iCloud Backup take care of? According to Apple, your device’s settings; app data; the Home screen and how your apps are organized; photos and videos in the Camera Roll; iMessage, SMS, and MMS messages; and ringtones will all be uploaded."

i think the photos must be in the "photo stream" section. but how to make that if the photos were taken before i activated the streaming-icloud!!!??

in the other hand, icloud.com does not show any Photo icon!!

The photos that you took before you turned on Photo Steam will not appear in there. Only photos that you take after you turn on Photo Stream will be in the Photo Stream.

All of your camera roll photos should be contained in the backup as noted.
