Restore in progress been interrupted

Restore in progress been interrupted on my “iPad cellular” from my iPad air. It states that 3BGB more are needed and it has space but stopped. I was transferring the data from my older iPad before I wipe it and give it away. How can I continue the restore to finish copying the original; I did not notice it had stopped restoring and have been using it to arrange it like I want. Can I cancel the restore? What kind of data might be missing? I also had a new cellular plan put on the “iPad cellular”… I don’t want this written over. What should I do?


iPad Air, iOS 12

Hey TuscanTexan,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We understand you're trying to restore a backup to your device but it stopped due to the need for more space. We'd like to help.


To first answer your direct questions, we would not recommend interrupting a restore but if you're restoring from an iCloud backup, you might see an option to do this under Settings > your name > iCloud > iCloud Backup. As far as what information might be lost in the restore, that would be unknown until you try it and start noticing what's missing. This might give you some idea: About missing information after you restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud Backup


As for what you can do to resolve the issue you're running into, check out: If restore from iCloud backup failed. If the issue you're running into is because you're trying to move from your current iPad to an iPad with a lower capacity, check out this article instead: Move from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a lower capacity device


If you need more help after reviewing these details and articles, feel free to reply back to this post with an update.



Best regards.
