How to restore iPhone backup onto another device?

So I accidentally deleted some messages that I need back, and I know I backed up my phone through iTunes and that I could retrieve the messages by restoring my backup, but I don't have enough storage on my phone to do that. Is there any way that I could restore the backup to my iPad? Or is there any way that I could retrieve these messages at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Should be able to, though not entirely sure about the messages (if they are texts) since the iPad of course is not a phone.
