Google photos didn't have the backup of my previous phone, any solution?

[AC Question]

I lost my nexus 5, 15days ago. All photos were saved in google photos. yet my account is not showing any backup of those pictures. All other google apps have successfully retrieved data but google photos has no backup. Is there anyway I can retain those pictures? Please help

Welcome to Android Central! Are you talking about a large number of photos, or just ones from the recent few weeks or so?

Can you see the photos if you go to Google Photos on the web, using your computer?
