No one is suggesting your question is "out of line"!

If you use Disk Utility, you'll use it to erase the drive, then copy from the backup to the drive (there's a checkbox in the Restore tab that erases). There's no need to install anything, since it's all on the backup itself.

Of course, an alternative would be to clean install Tiger, then -- when it prompts during first boot -- use the Migration Assistant to migrate your files and applications from the backup. You'd then use Software Update to get back to whatever version of Tiger you were running.

Hope that helps.
