Can I restore my child's iPhone from the saved family storage on our IPad as his backup failed (didn't realise) on his broken phone before getting his replacement.

iPhone 6, iOS 12

How to initiate a backup of an iphone on my icloud+ Family Sharing Daughter's phone is connected to my icloud+ family sharing and has backed up in the past but not for a few weeks. Her phone has to be reset because she forgot her phone pin code and also her apple id password. Before wiping her phone, we want to ensure that everything has been backed up, but can't get into the phone to initiate the backup. Is there a way to initiate the backup from another device, or from icloud?

Restoring child's iPad from icloud backup My child was playing a game on the ipad when the app crashed. Most of the data and settings got corrupted so I am trying to restore the ipad back to the backup state from the day before the crash. I have erased everything and opted to restore from backup but it appears to go into an endless spin and it does not show me any progress status. When I start the clean ipad set up, I opt for the option to set it up as a device for my child so I need to enter both mine and the child's Apple ID. The backup size on icloud is less than 8GB. I have now started the restore from the beginning again, having waited over 45 hours in the last attempt. Is this normal?

A new ‘family’ member cannot backup their iPhone A new member to my family is unable to backup their iphone. They still get the ‘phone is full’ message. I have the Apple One plan so iCloud space is not an issue. Suggestions?
