• When you are restoring your iPhone with the
  iTunes backup, you should pay attention to the
  time of the backup. Before restoring your iPhone,
  you are able to select the iPhone backup in
  iTunes, and you can see the updated time of the
  iPhone backup beside the name of the backup. If
  the backup is recently updated, you are able to
  get most of the files back to your iPhone if the
  backup hasnt been updated for a while, you will
  lose the newly added files during the restoring
  process.

• Just as this iPhone user comes up with, the
  iPhone backup is not a latest one, and he loses
  his pictures during the restoring process. What
  he tries to do is to retrieve deleted pictures
  from iPhone after restoring the iPhone with the
  backup, but he will get no luck with either
  iTunes or third-party data recovery software. The
  pictures will be totally erased and replaced by
  the contents in the backup, and there is no way
  to track the position of the erased files. So the
  third-party data recovery software wont be
  helpful on this issue.
