Hi Experts.

I had created a family vacation album as a shared album on icloud photos library. I was inviting a few more people. I have 2 phones (5c and 5s) and have logged in with same apple account on both phones. So whenever i update the shared vacation album it gets updated on both phones and my windows pc where i have installed icloud software and iphotos for windows software.

So what happened was today I invited myself to the same album and accepted the invitation on one of the phones ie iphone 5s. Something went wrong and I couldnt see the album on the 5s but I could see it on 5c and my windows PC. I mean I could see only album title i.e. Disney album from Null Null. And there were no photos there.

So then in order to fix this I decided to uninvite myself from 5s, and i accidentally unsubcribed from the vacation album on the iphone 5s. As I unsubsribed I didnt realize this would cause unsubscription to the album I Created on the iphone 5c and the windows PC. As a result I have lost that vacation album for all devices

Can somebody help to retrieve it. I have icloud backup from both phones before the time this incident happened. I dont remember when I last took itunes backup. I know icloud back up wont fix since photos are stored and backuped separately.

On the website of apple i read it said that the photos are kept in the cloud for 30 days. Would they still be there.
