My fiancee's Macbook Pro has been acting up. I was going to a clean install of Mountain Lion and restore from her latest backup to see if that would fix the sluggishness and poor loading times for apps, blah blah.
My questions are:
1. If there's anything actually WRONG, will the restore just bring the problems back?
2. Are there any problems with restoring a Mountain Lion-based Mac from a Lion-based backup?
If the answer to 1 is Yes, what's the best way to get all of her files, docs, apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) back onto a clean computer without any licensing problems, etc.?
