I'm considering downgrading from Mountain Lion back to Snow Leopard and I would like to do a clean install of Snow Leopard and use the backed-up data from Mountain Lion to restore everything on Snow Leopard.

Does anyone of you know if the Mountain Lion Time Machine backup is compatible with Snow Leopard?

Thanks.
 
From what I've seen from other posters on here, ML TM backups don't appear to be compatible with SL. Hopefully someone can come in and deny/verify this.
 
Sorry if this is a noob question but I upgraded to ML from SL yesterday and want to know if my Snow Leopard backups are compatible.

If you mean can you access a Time Machine backup made with Snow Leopard in Mountain Lion... yes.
