Hello nancyfromstatesville,
Does the error message contain any additional details about why the backup cannot be restored? This can help us target specific troubleshooting steps.
Sometimes a new device needs to be updated before a backup can be restored: Restore an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that needs a newer version of iOS or iPadOS - Apple Support
If software isn't the issue try these steps: If restore from iCloud backup failed - Apple Support
- "Try to restore your backup on another network.
- If you have another backup available, try to restore using that backup. Learn how to locate backups.
- If you still need help, archive important data then contact Apple Support."
Cheers!
