Q: Do my pictures on my iphone automatically backup on my icloud?

I am trying to make sure I do not lose my pictures as I have received a replacement phone because my screen lock button stopped working. When I go on my icloud I see my contacts but none of my pictures. How do I back those up?

Thank you.

iPhone 5, iOS 7

    You can't view photos at iCloud (except shared albums that have there own URL).

    Photo Stream merely "pushes" your last 30 days of photos to your other devices that use the same iCloud account.

    You can use iTunes to store a backup of your iPhone to either your computer or iCloud but basic service only allows 5GB's so you may need to purchase additional storage.

    The key part is to backup your "camera roll".
