Using an icloud backup to configurate my new iphone 6Plus

Hello

i just received my new iPhone 6Plus and i tried to use the backup of my iphone 5 to configurate it.

but the problem is that i wasn't able to use the last backup because it has been done under iOS 8.1 and my new iphone is running iOS 8.0.2. so i used an old backup first and then i updated the OS on the new iphone.

my problem is that the configuration with the old backup is still running since 6 or 7 hours and a couple of my apps are still "pending..." i wanted to stop the config and it showed a message that if i stop it i will not be to reuse that backup.


now my question is : if i stop it, will i be able to use the last backup i made just before starting, since i have iOS8.1 on the new iphone ?

thanks

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1

If you have the backup that was done with iOS8.1 and do not write over it, you should be able to restore to that backup. If you have been restoring for 6-7 hours, then something has stopped running.
