Here’s something; A user of mine did an iOS 6.1.2 upgrade last night at 11pm before she went to bed, it wiped her contacts list. Then at 4am icloud updated automatically and removed her contacts from the icloud backup. By default any changes to the phone get transfered to your icloud backup, make’s you rethink automatic backups huh.

My music is sitting in the cloud, not on my phone. even with syncing itunes they are not transferred to my new phone. I like to hear the music I purchased not just have it sitting in the cloud, how do I get it to transfer back to my phone?

In reply to Ben Patterson. Your instructions are a million times easier to understand than that of Apple's. Thank you! Now to muster the courage to hit that reset button... *gulp*

My iPhone was set up as a “new” iPhone. Can I now restore the iCloud backup to it?

In reply to Chardonnay Leary. Unfortunately, no — you can't restore data from specific iPhone apps to your iPad, or even to your iPhone. For now, you can only restore an entire backup of a given device. Too bad, because if you ask me, you should be able to pick and choose the iCloud backup data you'd like to restore (like you can with a Time Capsule backup of your Mac).
