Root Restore TWRP Backup from One Device to Another

Hi everybody,
I just swapped out my ZTE Awe N800 for another. I bought two when they were on sale -- one as a backup. In any case. I was trying to restore the backup made from my old one, onto the new one.
The new device is rooted and has TWRP recovery installed. I've copied the recovery files from the old device, and tried replicating the directory structure from the new device. That is to say, that I have renamed the directory that seems to have a unique identifier (such as F002798B, something like this).
I'm not sure if this is, in fact, even possible. If it is, I would like to figure out how.
Incidentally, the old device has B05, whereas the "new" device has B06, as far as I can tell.

If anybody has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Make a back up of ur new device then put ur other back ups in the same location some times works and some times it don't I did it on my warp 4g worked fine
 
Thanks for you advice. I've created a backup on the old device in Twin, saved to the SD card. I swap the SD card to the new device. It's the same device, and the same version of TWRP recovery. Additionally, I remember the directory on the backup from the old device to match that if backups made on the new device. Inexplicably, it still fails. I may have to try another route. Seems as though this is something that is hit or miss.
