• What does iCloud backup include?
  iCloud only backs up the data on your iOS device. It doesn't back up the data already synced to iCloud, such as Contacts, Calendar, Bookmark, Mail, Voice Memos, iCloud photos, etc. If you've enabled Messages in iCloud, they are not included in your iCloud backup. So iCloud backup includes information like App data, Device Settings, Purchase history, Ringtones, Device Home screen, and App organization, Photos, Homekit configurations, etc.
  To enable iCloud backup:
  1. Connect your iOS device to a stable Wi-Fi network.
  2. Go to Settings, tap iCloud > Backup.
  3. Turn on iCloud backup, and tap Back Up Now.
• Can I restore only photos from iTunes backup?
  Yes, of course. Apple allows us to restore the whole backup to the iPhone, and most unfriendly, it erases all data we stored on the iPhone after the previous backup. So, to restore only photos from iTunes backup, we need the help of a third-party tool, like Dr.Fone - Phone Backup.
  To restore only photos from iTunes backup,
  1. Launch Dr.Fone on your computer and select Phone Backup.
  2. Go to Restore from iTunes backup and select the backup file which stores your photos.
  3. Connect your iPhone to the computer. Preview the photos in the iTunes backup and restore them to your iPhone in 1 click.
