Here are the steps I took for migrating from a early-2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch to a late-2013 one.

1. Disconnected from the Internet (at least it will simplify
2. Updated my TimeMachine (TM) backup ("Back Up Now" on the status bar)
3. Disconnected my TM hard drive and connected it to the new Mac
4. Turned off the TM backup and Backblaze from the old machine
5. Connected the TM backup disk to the new Mac
6. Selected the TM restore process on the install process, but it never showed up, so I restarted it with the 'option' key down and selected the TM code, entered its password and continued with the installer from there
7. Waited about 3 hours till the data transfer (about 200GB from a stock external drive) was done
8. Logged in my account
