I’m curious to know if iPhone backups done locally on a computer through iTunes contain the photos that are synced to the device from the computer, or if it contains any photos at all. I sync my devices locally with my Photos library, and I have seemingly lost a few photos from a few years ago. I do have a backup that would contain them, but restoring just to figure this out is a tall task. I do not use iCloud.
 
If you don't use iCloud Photo Library then photos are including in iPhones backups.
