Restore to previous backup point

iTunes only saves one active prior backup and that is overwritten each time a backup is made. So unless you saved a backup elsewhere then the answer is no. iCloud saves three backups

To expand on Ocean20's correct answer, it is possible to "archive" a backup, which will create a new backup and allow you to restore either (or any, if you have several archived backups). However, you must think of this ahead of time and create a backup archive by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Right click on the current backup and choose "Archive".

Also, if you back up your computer regularly you can restore an older backup from your computer's backup, then restore it to the phone. This is a bit complicated, but doable. If you have a Mac it's especially easy if you have Time Machine enabled, which will make hourly backups of your entire drive.

What is the file called & where is it located on a windows machine. Also, how do you access the icloud backup?

You access the iCloud backup by doing a wipe of your phone - Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. You will then be given the option of restoring any of the backups currently available (usually 3).

On your computer the locations are given here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946

Note that a backup is not a file. It is a SQLite database, which consists of an index and several thousand files in a folder.

Hi LaIwrence

Can you tell us the procedure to restore a backup from a computer backup on a Window's machine ? When I go to iTune edit-preference-device I see a long list of backup but how to restore them to my iPhone ? When I press "Restore Backup" in iTune I found only the latest backup but not the older one which I want to restore.

Thanks

WHERE ARE BACKUPS LOCATED

ITunes stores one active backup and each time a backup is created the old backup is overwritten. Icloud saves the last three backups. You cannot view the backups unless you have special software to read it. If you want to know where the backups are located on your computer then read this article

First, when you choose "Restore Backup" click on the name of the backup. If there are any other eligible backups they will appear in a dropdown. This isn't always obvious. If there really are none, then the older backups are of no use to you. The only option then is to restore an older backup from the backup you have made of your computer (if any).
