-Unable to upload files to iCloud because no space

Without disagree with what my esteemed colleagues with more points said, I have a suggestion.


You should be able to get there by the long way around:

Set up the new iPad as a new device (without restoring data).

Enroll the new iPad in the beta test program.

Update the new iPad to a beta level of 14.7 at least as recent as the old iPad.

Erase the data and settings on the new iPad (which will not change the installed iPadOS level).

Set up the new iPad again. This time, you should be able to restore from that backup.


Alternatively, you might consider waiting until 14.7 is released into production before doing the setup and restore.
