If it's an entire system backup, you'd boot from the Lion recovery partition using command-r at startup and have your time machine backup disk connected. Then, select the, restore from time machine backup, option. If it is Snow Leopard, you'll need your install DVD and you'd need to boot off of that to install from a TM backup. If it's not an entire system backup, you can use Migrate Assistant, though this depends on what you are trying to restore.
