    The iCloud backup includes camera roll photos, not photo stream photos.  If you want those backed up, save them to your camera roll before backing up (open you My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

     

    Once you delete photo stream photos, they are permanently deleted.
