How can I restore my backups from Dropbox if my SD card failed or my phone got stolen ?
With Titanium Backup 3.6.4 (or above):
If your backup folder is empty, then with you can simply hit the "Sync with Dropbox" button to download all backups from Dropbox back onto your phone.
With older Titanium Backup versions:
Do not use the "Sync to Dropbox" button now: it's a one-way sync and would erase your Dropbox files because you have no backups on the phone.
You need to copy the "TitaniumBackup" folder back from Dropbox onto your SD card:
On a computer, login to Dropbox on the web
Click on the "TitaniumBackup" folder
Click on "Download folder".
Extract the ZIP file that you just downloaded.
Move the resulting "TitaniumBackup" folder from your computer onto your SD card
Make sure USB mass storage is disabled (ie: your phone is disconnected from the computer)
Launch Titanium Backup and it should see your backups.
