Sounds like she is signed in under your iCloud account on her 3GS. She should have her own Apple ID for iCloud. You should probably restore frm your last backup for each phone. Make sure your are restoring from the right backup. The important thing is to make sure she signs in under her own iCloud account. But you can still share the same iTunes account if you buy all her apps.

Settings > Store > scroll down to Apple ID. This should be your information, only if you pay for her apps. If not, the it should be her Apple ID that she will set up for icloud.

Settings > iCloud > this should be where you guys have separate accounts. Her Apple ID for I could should go here. Your Apple ID for iCloud would be the same one used for iTunes.

If all else fails, restore from the proper backups.

Restore her phone too. With ios 5, you sign into iCloud in the setup. If you miss it, go to Settings > iCloud and you should be able to sign out of whatever account and sign into hers.

keep in mind you can keep the same account/ID for itunes (purchases) and also have you own ID's for the cloud. Just create a new one for your daughter and sign in to icloud with it. Then in the itunes/app store sign in with yours if you still buying off the same account (yours)

Yes, either she uses her own icloud ID or doesn't use one at all. If you guys are signing into the same iCloud ID then that is your problem.
