How do I retrieve a file from a backup

I recorded a meeting a couple of months ago using the iRecorder app on my iPhone. The recording is listed on my phone, but it will not play back. Shows that it is only 56 KB, which is impossible for a 1 1/2 hour recording. How can I get to the backed up file in my iCloud?

Restoring a backup is all or nothing. If you only wanted the audio file it may be possible to do if you did something like back up your device on your computer using iTunes, restore the iCloud backup, save the recovered audio file (if the app doesn't have an export function, you would could always play it and record it on your computer using an app like QuickTime Player), then restore your iTunes backup to get your device back to where it is now.
