ipad AIR 5th gen (set up from icloud backup)

If you already sold your old ipad AIR 3rd gen before you received your new ipad AIR 5th generation, will you still be able to restore from the icloud backup that was made before you reset the old ipad to factory settings? Will that backup still be available after you have reset old ipad and signed out of icloud? How long will the backup remain available?


If this not possible, do I restore from the iTunes backup instead?

Thank you for your help.

Yes, it will. Your backup would be found using the same Apple ID as you used on your previous iPad, but when you set up your new iPad, it will ask you if you want to set it up from an iCloud Backup and when you do, you should see the date of the most recent backup to choose from.
