I've recently backed up my iPhone to iCloud for about a week, but prior to that, I restored my phone using an old backup from 2021 after my device was stolen and my latest (2024) backup was corrupted. Now that I've fixed the corrupted backup, I'm wondering whether restoring my phone to that 2024 backup will overwrite the data I backed up to iCloud during the past week, or if I can merge the two. Can anyone clarify how this process works?

Yeah, I get your dilemma. The thing is, when you restore an old backup, it will revert your phone to its state at that time, so any new data (like texts from this past week) might not survive that process. It's kinda tricky because merging data from different backups isn't straightforward.
When you restore from an older backup, like the one from 2021, it typically overwrites anything else on your device unless explicitly noted otherwise. Your new iCloud data from the week will likely be lost when you restore. It's best to back up everything you want to keep before proceeding.
