Sorry to intrude here but to clear it up...there’s no way to enter player.prf on iPad unless it’s jailbroken. Chrise, iCloud and iTunes are the ways to backup your game. Unless you disabled automatic backups it will overwrite it every time your ipad is connected to wifi and power. There are max 3 backups in the cloud.

What I have done is disable auto backup (and auto update!!) and make sure to backup manually daily. This way you can always go back to an older version when in need. Backup right before an update and check if all is fine. If not, you can always recover without losing anything. That said it won’t help this time but might be good in future.
