Hi all
I don't know if I did something or this has been like this all along. I looked at my IPad iCloud backup and I'm confused as to why the backup size is much smaller than all my data combined.

For example, my backup size says 3.2GB however I've used a total of 110GB on my iPad. Please see attached pics.

Couple questions:
1) My iPad photo library is 88GB alone (but backup only 3.2GB). Could this be because 90% of the pictures are the same as my iPhone (which is backed up on iCloud)?

2) Does this have anything to do with me recently turning on iCloud Photo Library? BTW I haven't turned on iCloud Photo Library on my phone yet...wanted to test it out on iPad first.

Thanks for any info and help!
