I need to unlock my phone to install an eSIM for a trip to France. I have already backed up the phone to both iCloud & my Mac. But before I erase the contents of the phone, I need to be sure that I can restore everything back onto the phone. Since I have never done this before, I have a couple of basic questions.

1. I understand that the music on my phone (I have a subscription to Apple Music) will NOT be restored from the iCloud back-up. However, since Apple Music is cloud-based, my music will automatically be restored since I have turned on Sync Music. Am I correct?

2. I have quite a few CDs on my phone that I previously uploaded from my Mac. In order to restore those CDs, do I need to store the phone from my Mac (& not from my iCloud back-up)?

Thank you so much for your help. I'm a bit nervous about erasing the phone.

I think your carrier needs to unlock the phone. You shouldn’t need to restore it to factory settings.
 
Actually AT&T only authorizes the unlocking of the phone. I am responsible for the unlocking by erasing the content & restoring from the back up.

My apologies.
