How do I restore my new phone with a titanium backup file?

[xxoutshinedxx]

My phone was recently damaged (galaxy S4) and they fedex'd me a new phone overnight. I got the new phone today and rooted it and installed Titanium backup.. now how do I use that backup to restore this phone back to the way my old phone was? I have the titanium backup files on my SD card and I've already inserted that and even copied the backup from my SD card to my internal storage... so now I have a backup on both my SD card and in my internal storage.. but when I go to restore under titanium backup it does not seem to be reading that I have a backup anywhere on the phone. How do I have titanium backup locate that backup file and then use it to restore this phone to the way my other phone was?

Make sure your backup files are in the same folder that Titanium Backup is set to backup to.

Yup, TB has a default folder. To change this open TB, tap menu button and select preferences in the general section. Scroll down to Backup Settings and select Backup Folder Location. When the next window pops up choose detect and it will scan for your backup file. When it finds it tap use the current folder.
You will have to redo this process if you change the location or after wiping your phone from changing roms.
Hope that helps.
