IOS – How to restore file from iCloud Backup

backupicloudiosiphonerestore

I lost an important sqlite file during the upgrade to iOS 9 beta. Luckily the file is backed up on iCloud.

When restoring from the iCloud backup, iOS downloads the data file along with the app, but then deletes the app and file immediately during the process (most likely due to the app is not a finished app available on the App Store; it is under development).

So my question is, is there a way to restore that beta app's data file?

Or, is there a way to prevent the restore process from deleting apps that it thinks should not exist?
