I've not tried 8.4 yet.  I actually just went from 8.3 to 9, but that said I 
might.  Obviously, being that I'm a dev, I do have access to it.  I over looked 
it earlier, but then another friend who's a dev who'll be left unsaid reminded 
me of having access to it, so I may give it a shot.

    They don't take versions into account, unless you're trying to restore one 
I O S device to a different type device.  IE, you can't restore your settings 
from an IPhone on to an IPad.  Trust me, I should know.  I tried.  Further, if 
the backup was made with a newer version of I O S than you're restoring to, it 
won't work.

      Hi. I tried that twice last night, with no success each time. 8.3 would 
restore back to my phone, but iTunes refused to restore the backup saying the 
software on the phone was too old. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong? Or 
if I might be potentially screwed? One backup was before I put nine on, and the 
other one was with nine. I could've sworn iTunes backups didn't take device 
versions into account though, but apparently they do.

        OK, I can now safely and concretely confirm absolutely beyond a shadow 
of a doubt that Apple is wrong in what they say on the dev web site.  Yes, you 
most certainly can! downgrade from I O S 9 back to I O S 8.3.  I just diddit, 
and even restored my 8.3 backup, and it worked absolutely flawlessly.

        Just goes to show why I don't always read disclaimers.  Usually I will, 
but not always.

        Chris.
