Restoring of a DELETED iCloud backup of an iPad

On my iPad it only shows the last backup but when restoring I had at 2 backups saved of each device.

But you have to erase the iPad to see what other backups are available. You could backup to your computer before erasing as a precaution.

Pardon my interruption, but this find is very enlightening. I have been told by one of the ASC hosts that iCloud saves the two most recent backups for each device but I have never seen evidence of it until now.

Thank you for sharing this with the community. I am bookmarking this discussion for future reference.

iTunes or the Finder in MacOS only saves the most recent backup unless you archive backups, which is possible to do on a Mac. If you haven’t archived any backups, there will only be one available on the computer and that would be the most recent backup.

It’s a photo of my iPad when restoring.

I’m glad you found it helpful Demo.

That’s great.
