How many backups does iCloud/iPhone store on the computer?

My sister's iPhone 4S downloaded the most recent iOS (iOS 8. Something rather) without her telling her to do it at any point in time, and it's pretty well ruined her phone at this point. She can't upgrade or get a new phone for the next 4-5 months, and the phone with the iOS 8 has made it to where it's very close to being nothing more than a paperweight.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if multiple backups are stored on computers and if it's possible to select an older backup that has iOS 7 or 6 on it and apply it to the phone so it goes back to a software the phone can better handle?

Any help/feedback/advice is greatly appreciated.

Even with an old backup the data would be extracted and installed into the IOS on her iPhone. You can't downgrade the IOS.

  • Why did Apple delete my iCloud backups? I had some backups in iCloud from my old iPhone. I came back to get my stuff and it was all gone. My iCloud storage was full, then when I came back it was empty and there were no backups. I DID NOT delete them. There was a lot of photos, videos, messages and contacts in there I will never get back.
  • Is there any way i can get my old iphone backups? So i just got the beta for IOS7 and i went back to ios 6. I backed up my phone before i downloaded ios7.So now that i went back to ios 6 everything is gone. The phone was set to a new phone and i lost everything. I tried backing it up but it said that i needed ios7 to back it up. Then i accidentally backed my phone up and it deleted the old back ups. Is there any way i can get my old back ups? I know how to find them kind of but i don't know how to sync them back into itunes or my phone.
