Retrieving old backups

Is there a way to retrieve a back up from 6 months ago? I’ve done multiple backups since then and it’s not on that list.

It may be gone -- Back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iCloud - Apple Support.


"Important: iCloud backups are available for 180 days after you turn off or stop using iCloud Backup."


Also -- Legal - iCloud - Apple.


"If a device has not backed up to iCloud for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days, Apple reserves the right to delete any backups associated with that device."
