How to retrieve lost data?

I backed up all my data, signed out completely.

I then restored my iPhone to factory settings.

When I signed in, some data which I backed up could not be retrieved.


Please help, how can I retrieve this data?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

What you're describing isn't restoring from backup, but syncing to icloud.
