Restore catalog using PSE 2024

After 8 years I'm moving form an iMac to a Mac mini. I backed up a catalog on an external drive on the old iMac and then mounted the external drive on the Mac mini. The path to the backup file is

/Volumes/TTS-3TB/Alan/PSE-backup/(lots of files including Backup.tly). In organizer when I try to run Restore Catalog, after browsing to the appropriate location, it tells me there is not a valid backup file in /Volumes/TTS-3TB. (I told it to look at  /Volumes/TTS-3TB/Alan/PSE-backup).

 

I really need to get this to work. This is the first of 5 catalogs (150,000 photos) that have created using 2 or 3 versions of PSE and heve stored photos in at least 2 locations. Suggestions?

My error. I only entered the directory where the Backup.tly was located. Once I selected the Backup.tly file in the directory where the backup was made, the restore seems to working correctly.
