Here is what I have going on. I have a loner iphone for a few more days (iphone7). I will be getting a anther iphone 7 next week.


Right now I am not using icloud backup, because i want my old iphone back the same way.


If I use icloud back now will that replace my old backup or just add to it and will it add to my messages to may old iphone backup.

Thanks Brian
