Merging or combining two iOS backups In May of 2015 my iPad Mini died because it got wet. I purchased a new iPad Mini 3 and reinstalled the apps I wanted on it ( and mourned the loss of my old Mini).
Now that it's July and my new mini has its own backup I've discovered that I still have the backup to the old Mini (I know, I was pretty dumb that I didn't realize this sooner.) 

Is there anyway to restore the old backup to the new iPad without losing the new backup? In other words, can I combine them?
Yes, I just did mine only with iPhone.


Back up new iPad Mini
then restore backup of old iPad
after backup complete
restore backup of new iPad Mini. Viola!
