D. Knowing when the last backup was made could give us a clue about the data's integrity. It's worth asking.

B. That spinning clock is a good indicator of whether the system is recognizing the Time Machine backup. I'd start there.

Hmm, I'd say C. It's likely that some system files were excluded from the backup, which is preventing the full restore from working.
