[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 1309953, member: 50033"] The backup should be in tact. However, the 4S will not be jailbroken. iTunes does not record the jailbreak during a backup. It only stores your personal data--photos, contacts, etc. There is no issue restoring a "jailbroken backup" to a non-JB phone. Another option you might look into to regain your unlock on your 3GS is a Gevey SIM. It's kind of a hokey method, but it's cheap and it does work. Search for "Gevey SIM" on Youtube and you'll find some videos explaining how it works and what the caveats are. It would have your 3GS back up and running for less than $25, but you have to go through a goofy process if you reboot the phone. [/QUOTE]
