Do you have iCloud enabled on your iPhone? Most iPhones have it enabled by default. On a computer go to https://www.icloud.com

 and select Settings

After that you should see a grey and white screen with your storage and your device. If your storage is empty like mine iCloud did not backup your files and you should skip all of the further instructions.


If this does not work try these steps by apple:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup 

ICLOUD VERSION

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup

ITUNES VERSION
