restoring a backup from a previous phone on my hardrive

I backedup my phone on Itunes on my desktop hardrive. I didn't use Icloud backups for 6 months. I lost my Iphone and replaced it with a new one. When I try to restore it from my Itunes to the new phone it doesn't let me and will only restore from my 6 month old Icloud backup. I wan't to restore from my hardrive, how can I do this.

Your icloud backup isn't stored in iTunes.
