Hi David,
When I backed-up, I don't know if the server was offline? I can say that I was not running pgAdmin. For instance, I backed up the Operating System and all of its applications. If I go run other application, including other servers, they work. As a matter of fact, if I boot into the old hard drive while it is outside of the laptop, it still works just as it did before I took it out of the laptop.
As far as your question of "And the relevant content from the log directory log file?": what are you asking for? That is the entire and complete log after that command.
Thanks, I appreciate the help.

And the relevant content from the log directory log file?

pg_ctl: could not start server
You might be misunderstanding where I said restore, I did not backup the database, I restored an Operating System because I changed out my hard drive for a solid state drive; therefore, I had to restore my Operating System from Time Machine/(backup).
And was that Time Machine backup made while the server was offline? If not, and you didn't take any explicit steps to backup and restore the database itself, then your database may be corrupted and thus unable to boot. The log file should indicate whether that is the case.

I take it you're seeing that output in the Terminal shell window. What value does -D get when you try to start postgres? Can we see the entire command? The "log" directory will be within the value of -D I believe.
