To do a true restore you need to do it as part of that setup assistant from the beginning. If you do it after, it won't "restore" settings but it will bring in your iCloud data like contacts and calendars.

Thanks for your replay
So it's just contacts and calendars or there are another things?

Any of your data that is on iCloud. So that would be contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notes, and reminders.

So it's just those 5 things, no more ??

Correct. Just iCloud data that is "synced" as opposed to settings and data that are part of the iCloud backup routine.

What I mean is those things I listed are synced with iCloud on any device you login with. The other things like settings you mentioned are not synced, but are part of the iCloud backup component you can see if you look in the backup tab in the iCloud settings. I just used the word opposed to point out there was a difference.
