Hi,

I lost my contacts on my iphone 4s yesterday. I checked and my ipad mini has this information still intact. I plugged my ipad into my computer and did the itunes sync.

I did not have my iphone backed up to the icloud, although my ipad mini is.

I went to the Verizon store today with my phone and ipad. I was told since I backed up my ipad, I can restore to my iphone. When I connect my iphone, I have two choices - Restore iPhone OR Restore Backup. Which do I want to do?

Thank You!

Hi,

Restore from backup is restoring your phone to what you have backed up in iTunes and/or iCloud. Restore iPhone is restoring your phone as new. No backup. It would be like a new phone. Hope that helps with your decision.
