I accidentally hit "back-up" rather than "restore backup" when I got my new iPhone. Is there any way I can get a previous backup? or is everything gone forever?

I cracked my screen recently so I went in to the store to get a new one. Everything was going great until I hit the wrong button and now everything is lost. Is there any way I can get a previous iCloud backup on my phone?

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
