Mac – Restore system to point in time

backuprestoretime-machine

Running time machine and High Sierra, my MacBook Air got invaded.

So I want to restore it to the backup on Time Machine from earlier this morning.

But it’s not clear how I can specify from when I want to restore the machine.

I’ve tried using the Migration Assistant.

So, how do I recover the entire system from a specific point from my Time Machine backup?

i guess you are looking for something like this: https://maclovin.org/blog-native/2017/restoring-from-a-snapshot-with-apfs. It can alternatively be done from command line as tmutil restore. See man tmutil for more information.
