How do you restore to a BACKUP?

Just connect iPhone, let it backup and sync, then click "Restore" and will it give you the option of restoring to a backup after you click that? Also, if I restore to a backup, will I keep all my texts, contacts, photos etc?
 
When you click Restore it will reinstall the OS and then give you an option to set up as "New" or "Restore from Backup". When you click from backup you can selct which backup to restore from by date.

Restore from backup will put the phone back to exactly the way it was on the backup date.
 
Have you tried a "Reset" (pressing and holding Lock/Sleep and Home buttons at same time until you see Apple logo)?

What problem are you having?
