Did you try to reinstall the mac and use migration assistant to restore from the Time Machine backup?



Yes I did. But the time machine backup was way larger than my macbook‘s ssd. The reason was this:

I had only 600-700 gb of data on my Mac. Installed OneDrive, did not know that I had configured my NAS to do 800gb of cloud backups to OneDrive. And Time Machine downloaded that data into its backup. Although I had configured OneDrive not to download that folder to my Mac. So time Machine screwed up.
