Restoring a Backup to a different phone?

If we made a backup of a ShopBerry Z30 and then wanted to load that backup onto a Verizon Z30, is this possible?

Or, do we have to use the "switch device" feature?

If we use "switch device" is there anything that wont be transferred?

I'll add all of this is using Link.

Thanks!

As long as the BBID on both backup and phone are the same, you'll be fine.
