How do I restore an IOS 17 backup to a iphone 8?

You don't, since iOS 17 cannot be installed on an iPhone 8.

In other words, you could restore to an iPhone running iOS 17 using an iPhone 8 backup, but you can't restore to an iOS 16 phone using an iOS 17 backup.

iOS 17 cannot be installed on an iPhone 8. The hardware simply cannot support it.

You dont. The highest iOS an iPhone 8 can run is iOS 16.7.7, you cannot use a backup created on a higher version of iOS.

Same question = Same answer.

Hello~ You cannot. This has been pointed out several times here. It simply isn’t a possibility. Sorry.
