# Restoring Time Machine backup
|
|
|
|
OCLP automatically installs root patches when installing from the USB drive for the first time to ensure smooth operation of the first time settings.
|
|
|
|
However, as an unfortunate side effect, restoring via Time Machine breaks while root patches are installed and restoring a root patched machine requires a few tricks to avoid a kernel panic.
|
|
|
|
To ensure a smooth Time Machine restore, follow the steps listed under:
|
|
|
|
1. In first time settings (Setup Assistant), do not restore the backup. Instead do all settings like you would want to start fresh.
|
|
2. Once you reach desktop, open the OCLP application and revert root patches in the Post Install Volume Patches section.
|
|
3. Restart your machine.
|
|
* Note: Your Mac will feel slow due to lack of graphics drivers and resolution may be wrong. WiFi will also be unavailable in most cases, if your backup is on a network drive, use Ethernet.
|
|
4. Login and start Migration Assistant.
|
|
5. Go through the restoring process.
|
|
6. Once finished, go into the OCLP app and reinstall the root patches.
|
|
|
|
Now you should be fully restored with Time Machine and also running with all patches.
|

::: warning Sequoia Note
|
|
|
|
Time Machine restoring seems to be currently broken on Sequoia even after uninstalling root patches, leading to a loop with "Migration Finished" window. Currently the only way is to restore on older OS and then upgrade to Sequoia.
