Time Machine Restoration to new MacBook Here's my problem. The backup from my old MacBook is macOS 10.14.6 but my new MacBook is running 11.2, this is preventing the time machine restore on my new computer. Am I screwed or is there a way to make this happen?

Time Machine Restore from Disk Drill Data Recovery I encountered a Time Machine problem (error code 69485) and resorted to using Disk Drill for data recovery. Thankfully, I was able to retrieve my lost data successfully. Now, I'd like to restore my Mac to its previous state using the data recovered by Disk Drill. However, I'm unsure how to proceed with creating a new Time Machine backup using this data. Could someone kindly guide me through the steps to achieve this? I want to ensure that my system is restored with the recovered data appropriately. Here are some specific points I'd appreciate clarification on: Can I use the data recovered by Disk Drill as the source for a new Time Machine backup? If so, how do I set up Time Machine to recognize this data as the backup source? Are there any precautions I should take before starting the restoration process to avoid potential issues? Are there any best practices for handling a Time Machine restore from a third-party data recovery tool? I'm relatively new to Time Machine and data recovery, so any detailed instructions or insights from experienced users would be incredibly helpful.
