Hi DougMaine,
It depends on your scenario:
If you're importing your backup contents onto a new Mac, or if your Mac is running macOS Big Sur or later: Erase your Mac, then transfer your content when prompted in the Setup Assistant.
If you're restoring your backup contents to the same Intel-based Mac that made the backup, and that Intel-based Mac is running macOS Catalina or later:
NOTE: Macs with Apple silicon cannot run macOS Catalina or earlier, and should use the first section above.
