New Macbook pro, can I use a Lion backup?

[thedon1]

I've currently got a 2008 macbook and will be replacing it with a macbook pro.

I've got my computer backed up on my time capsule but it's currently running lion.

When i get the new macbook pro, can I start the computer and just bring everything over from my TC backup?


Thanks

Why wouldn't you be able to?

I thought maybe having Lion in the backup and moving to Mountain Lion might cause a problem but it seems like it'll be OK.

Does it usually work flawlessly or is there something IO need to watch out for?

Migration Assistant will import the data fine.

Just so i'm clear, it does files, apps, everything right?

I just did just that a couple of weeks ago and it worked fine. You have to re-enter codes for some programs though, like Word and Final Cut Pro.
