Just a note, this is incorrect.
Did you restore a iOS backup to a different device then the backup was originally created on?
The way that sensitive data is encrypted on iOS (when the proper API's are used), certain types of data can be marked to be only able to be decrypted on the same device. That is, if a backup is restored to a different device, the unique device ID will have changed, and some encrypted items will not be able to be decrypted.
This is intentional. More details at https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf

And if it's intentional that it's supposed to work that way, then Apple shouldn't tell people that they have a full backup and are good to go when that isn't actually the case. Especially since it makes zero sense for it to even work that way. If the backup is encrypted on your computer, then it should make zero difference whether the phone itself is different. Regardless though, how it works and why it works the way it does is irrelevant. The issue is with Apple telling users that they have a backup when in fact they do not.
