Q: undo back up

I backed up my old iphone 6 and then got a new iphone 6. Before I restored the back up to my new phone, I took pictures. Then when I restored my backup, all of those new pictures were erased. Is there any way to undo my restore and get those pictures? Thanks.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1, null

    Sorry, but if you restored your device to the older backup without having backed up the newer data, then it was overwritten when the restore was done.

     

    Any chance those photos are in your iCloud Photo Stream? Have you signed back in to iCloud on the new device, and turned on Photo Stream to see?

     

    Best of luck,
