Feb 14, 2015 7:05 AM in response to Dallas1484by fjwhiston,Hi, I would always restore from the iTunes backup. I've always found it to be the most complete backup. If however your iTunes backup is very old, and your include backup is very new, then restoring from the iCloud backup may be best.

Feb 14, 2015 8:36 AM in response to fjwhistonby Dallas1484,Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering about restoring from both though - not one or the other. The article describes using both to compliment each other. I'm wondering how to restore from 2 different backups (part in itunes and part in icloud) as I thought you could only pick one when you're restoring. Does anyone know?
