iPhone back up without photos
I want my iPhone to be backed up, but I don’t need to back up my photos, they’re all saved in another cloud. And I don’t wanna buy more cloud storage.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Hi MattA84,
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Seems an iPhone backup to iCloud includes Photos if they are not already stored there in iCloud
Backups do not include information already stored in your iCloud storage.
See Apple support's article below for the full details:
What does iCloud back up?
