Last week, JB-HI were advertising a range of USB-C mutilport dongles, which are pretty much essential for a computer with nothing but USB-C ports. They’re not the cheapest thing in the world but are a worthwhile investment until the rest of the world catches up with USB-C devices. In the meantime, I’d say that the TM restore might be your best option. You could also consider restoring across an Airport wireless network connection, but you need to be able to guarantee constancy of connection, so I’d always leave that as a last resort.
