• When it comes to retrieving lost data from iPhone
  backup, many iPhone users will think it easy
  because restoring iPhone with the iTunes backup
  is easy to be done. The iPhone users only need
  several simple steps to restore the backup using
  iTunes, but sometimes they will come up with the
  problem when using iTunes to restore iPhone.
• For example, when users have updated to a new
  iPhone, and want to restore the new phone with
  the old backup, they can do that easily with
  iTunes. If the users create a new iPhone backup
  with iTunes, and want to restore iPhone with the
  backup, they wont get the data back to their
  iPhone as the old backup has been replaced by the
  new iPhone backup which the new iPhone user has
  just created. This is annoying and embarrassing,
  and most of the iPhone users dont want to meet
  with this situation, but it does occur among the
  new iPhone users, or some experienced users who
  have replaced the backup by accident.

• When users come up with the loss in their iPhone
  backup, they can try out the iCloud backup.
  iCloud keeps three most recent backups in the
  cloud, and allows users to retrieve when in need.
  iCloud is a built-in service in iOS 5 or later,
  so the users who have a new iPhone will have
  iCloud in their iPhone. When iPhone users connect
  their iPhone to charger with Wi-Fi open, and they
  dont use iPhone at the moment, then iCloud will
  start to upload data to the cloud, and of course,
  this is based on iCloud being enabled on iPhone.
  When users want to restore their backup, they
  only need to tap Settings gt iCloud gt Restore
  Backup, and then iCloud will allow you to choose
  the backup to restore. Note that the iPhone
  should connect with the Wi-Fi connection because
  the iPhone backup can be a very large one.
