You can choose which backup you want to restore from, but that won't restore selective contact, since those are stored on what I'd assume to be a separate part of iCloud, that when you sign in with your iCloud ID, everything that's stored there gets pushed to each device.

So if she knows when she lost her contacts, couldn't she restore from an earlier date? Also, can one selectively restore from iTunes? If so, that would seem to offer a significant advantage over using iCloud.
