Find an available backup and key
You need an available Coldbore backup and access to its key. Installing the app alone does not recover the collection.
Select and restore the recovery point
- Sign in to the intended Apple Account on the new iPhone or iPad.
- Open Coldbore and choose Restore from iCloud, or open iCloud Backup in Settings.
- Select the intended recovery point.
- Review its details and any restore choices before applying them.
- Open several restored records and their attachments after completion.
Open restored records and attachments
Check identity, a document, a photo, and recent history. A successful summary is stronger when the expected files also open.
Check account and key access
If no point appears, verify the account and available backup. If key access fails, use the app’s recovery-key route only with the key for that backup.
