I assume you are referring to:
iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support
where it says:
Back up your photos and videos
When you turn on iCloud Photo Library, your photos and videos automatically upload to iCloud. They're not duplicated in your iCloud backup. But we always recommend that you keep back up copies of your library. You can download your photos and videos from iCloud.com to your computer and store them as a separate library, transfer them to another computer with Image Capture or Photos, or store them on a separate drive.
I would recommend using one of those 3 options.
