By 'backup' I assume you mean the .zip files created by the FH Backup options.
These files are only a backup of the GEDCOM .ged file database.
The pictures are stored separately, and must be backed-up separately.
If you are using the FH V4 project structure, then the picture files are usually stored in the Project Media sub-folder.
In this case you can use File > Project Window > More Tasks > Copy Project to copy the entire project to your backup device.
While talking about backups, you may wish to backup other folders and files associated with FH settings, etc.
See Knowledge Base > Family Historian > Installation Guide > Move Family Historian Settings.

Although this talks about how to move from PC to PC, it identifies what needs preserving in case your PC breaks down.
That is what backups are for, and many users only discover they have not preserved everything they need, after it is too late.
