Well shit.

Could I back up my brother's iPad, then use his to restore my iCloud, then erase and bring back his own backup?

You can only use the backup to restore another iPad.

You can view data that is stored/saved in iCloud.  But backups are an all or nothing endeavor, meaning you have to restore it to a device to access info contained in the backup.  The part of settings (you name>iCloud>list of “apps using iCloud”) is different than a backup.

Hi guys,

Basically my iPad got stolen and I had a PDF with notes on it that I need access to. On my phone I can go on iCloud&gt;Manage Storage&gt;Backups and my iPad has a 6.5GB backup, but I have no idea how to access the files. There's nothing on iCloud Drive.

Any ideas?
