Is it possible to backup my current iphone to icloud backup from 2 years ago?

I recently lost my boyfriend in an accident and was hoping to recover photos of him from my phone that I had in 2013. Is the data still available somewhere to be backed up to my iPhone I am using now? I am currently using an iPhone 4s and don't see a date that far when I look under manage storage. The phone I had in 2013 was an iPhone 5. Thank you for your help!

You will have to use the Apple ID and password that has been used to set up his iPhone to restore it from the backup.

And the iOS on your phone has to be at least the same version. Backups made by a newer iOS version can't be used on an older iOS device unless this device is updated.

Maybe also take a look at these articles again:
