I am trying to restore my new ipad from my ipad pro 2018 icloud back up
i backed up the ipad pro 2018 2nd gen yesterday to the cloud to make sure of most recent back up
i have attached the new 5th gen to my mac and opened in finder turned off icloud find my ipad
as requested and clicked restore from back up
see photos first one was I assume it downloading the data s
second one seems to be stuck for ages is this right ?
tha actual ipad says restore in Progress
The second image suggests that the backup that you are attempting to restore is larger than the available space. If so, the restore process will fail due to insufficient space.
You may need the return to your old device - and delete data before updating the existing backup (such that the backup is smaller).
If you are replacing a 128GB iPad that is already close to full with another 128GB iPad, at best you are going to struggle with ongoing difficulties of limited storage space.
It is impossible to increase the amount of RAM or internal storage in your iPad - as this is fixed during manufacture; what you have is fixed for the life of your device. You can, however, subscribe to a higher tier of iCloud storage - but this is not a substitute for internal storage.
Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support
If your internal storage is full, your only option is to better manage the storage that you have - and delete unused Apps or unneeded data.

“Offloading” Apps can be a helpful method of creating temporary space for a software update.

External storage options can often help with managing limited internal storage. Depending upon your iPad model, the iPad will either have a Lightning or USB-C port - and may therefore require either an Adapter or USB hub to connect the USB Storage device. If your iPad has a Lightning port, you’ll need an Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter:
makes sense your right just realised back up is way to big
its still restoring has moved along a bit can i just interupt the restore or am I best letting it fail itself
i dont want to brick the new ipad ?
the restore will take some days to fail on its own
Interrupting the restore process from this state will only affect the data. For expedience - and to ensure correct restoration - you’d be wise to erase all data from the iPad before again attempting to restore from you backup.
