I've got a machine that needs to be upgraded to 10.7, the only option is a clean install. If I run TimeMachine on the 10.5 machine and backup to our Server can I then restore the Lion clean install or remove select files from the time machine backup on Lion.
Got a tip for us?

In Short
No. I would backup all essential data as files (External HDD or optical)
Then perform a claen install
It's long winded, but it IS safe
