    Photos Backup vs. Photo Library Backup?

    Hello this is concerning iCloud backup. What's the difference between Photos enabled vs. Photos Library enabled. Isn't all the photos and videos already in Photos app? What happens if I disable Photos but enable Photos Library or what happens if I disable both? Thank you, have a blessed weekend.
