I downgraded from the iOS 9.1 beta today to opt for the iOS 9 release instead. For the past six hours, I've been trying to restore from an iCloud backup with no luck. Each time I attempt, I receive one of two errors. I either receive, "Lost connection" or "The server is unavailable. Please try again later." Mostly, I'm receiving the server unavailable option. I have tried every backup build I have, including my iPad backups, in addition to putting the 9.1 beta build back on my phone and trying the 9.1 restores with absolutely no result. The progress bar typically reaches roughly 75% completion with less than a minute estimated before receiving the server unavailable statement. Attempting a restore after the message does not pick back up where it left off. It's as if it never even restored any of it despite the progress bar showing it. I checked the apple server status page and all servers appeared to be up and running.

Is anyone experiencing any issues similar to this? I have not tried iTunes for the restore because all of my backups are on iCloud. Any iTunes backups I have are very old. I don't know what else to try at this point. I'm going to try again tomorrow in the morning to see if maybe it just has to do with the ios 9 update that hit today. I'm hoping that's all it is.

Any help with this would be appreciated. I own an iPhone 6 Plus 64gb.
