Greetings Toogie51,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


It sounds like you're looking to restore a backup of your iPhone from a previous date, right? If you don't have a backup of your iPhone, there wouldn't be a way to restore it to a previous date.


If we understood you correctly, you'll need to erase everything on your iPhone before you're able to restore a backup. This would mean anything currently on your iPhone would be removed, so plan accordingly for that if you need to create an additional backup of information. The following steps show how to restore your iPhone from an iCloud backup, and you can locate additional information here: Restore all content to iPhone from a backup - Apple Support


Restore iPhone from an iCloud backup

1. Turn on a new or newly erased iPhone.

2. Do one of the following:

• Tap Set Up Manually, tap Restore from iCloud Backup, then follow the onscreen instructions.

• If you have another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 11, iPadOS 13, or later, you can use Quick Start to automatically set up your new device. Bring the two devices close together, then follow the onscreen instructions to securely copy many of your settings, preferences, and iCloud Keychain. You can then restore the rest of your data and content to your new device from your iCloud backup.


Or, if both devices have iOS 12.4, iPadOS 13, or later, you can transfer all your data wirelessly from your previous device to your new one. Keep your devices near each other and plugged into power until the migration process is complete.

You’re asked for your Apple ID. If you’ve forgotten your Apple ID, see the Recover your Apple ID website.


If we misunderstood what you're looking to do, provide additional information to clarify that for us. Let us know if you have any additional questions.


Take care!
