Can I restore my iPhone 4S with a iPhone 5 Backup?

[comics addict]

I need to know if I can restore my old iPhone 4S using the iCloud backup from my iPhone 5 in order to have all my data up to date. Is it technically possible ? My 4S is at 6.1.3 while my 5 is at 6.1.4 which is where my concern comes from. Thank you for your time.

you cannot restore to a lower iOS version than the one in which you made the backup,that backup can only be restored to 6.1.4 iOS version or higher.
Although there are a few ways around this so google it

I think you have to have the backup on your computer and actually change some plist file on your phone and since you can't jailbreak an iPhone 4S on iOS 6.1.3 i think you're out of luck.

A while back, this is what someone posted. You can give it a try but no guarantees

locate your backup on your computer.
For Windows, it's at "C:/Documents and Settings/[USERNAME]/Application Data/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup". For Mac, it's "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup"
Locate your latest backup and search for the info.plist file. Edit it with a text editor and look for this string: <key>Product Version</key>
Change 6.1.2 to 6.0.2 and save.
You can now restore to this backup on 6.0.2.
