Look for backup of your iPhone data in iTunes. IF you are unavailable to find any backups for the iOS device, then you may not have made any previous backup of the phone. It is also possible that the device has an older version of iOS than what was used to make the backup. Or perhaps, the backup was made on a different PC or iTunes account.
