Apparently you completely erased your HD. Time Machine backups do not backup the operating system. You need to reinstall the OS. Hold down the Command + R keys on restart to use the Recovery Mode to do the reinstall. Once completed you can use Migration Assistant to recover your files from the backup. I hope this helps.
