What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support


iCloud backup doesn’t include information that is synced and stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice MemosMessages*, shared photosiCloud Photos, Health data, call history and files you store in iCloud Drive.


*-If you had turned on Messages in iCloud your content is automatically stored in iCloud and is available on all devices that use the same Apple ID
