Hello.

I had a 7p, and bought a X.

I restored my X from the last backup of that 7p.

I now want to activate that 7p as a second att line.

Can I plug the 7p to iTunes, find the most recent X backup, and ‘restore from backup’ the X library to the 7p, so I have two phones with identical content?

If so, how do I do it? I assume if I plug in the 7p, iTunes will recognize it and load the last library; but of course I want to find the most recent X library.

Can someone tell me how to do this if possible?
