problems with restoring from Time machine

when updating to a new operating system, I was prompted to restore from Time Macnine. I was asked to erase the hard drive. After doing that Time Machine restoration started. However, after only a short period of time I got a message saying that my back up disc was not responding. I am now stuck with out a working computer

Can't restore from Time Machine Recently my MB Pro has begun to behave erratically (names in my Messages app are now only numbers, individual notes in the Notes app disappeared), so I tried to restore an earlier version from Time Machine. But RESTORE is greyed out. I've run Disk Utility on both my MBP and on my backup disk, and that didn't help. Might updating to a newer operating system possibly help, or (if Ive been hacked) will it only compound the problem(s)? Not sure what to try.
