Clean ML Install (But Keep Apps?)


ok, might seem strange sort of question, hear me out.

planning on upgrading ml when released on rmbp, however, clean install, carbon copy cloner, have fresh install cloned, restore apps have installed on lion.

new upgrading mac's don't know options are?

following work?

1. backup current configuration (lion & apps) carbon copy cloner.
2. perform fresh install of mountain lion.
3. backup fresh mountain lion installation carbon copy cloner.
4. restore lion clone (from step 1).
5. upgrade lion mountain lion.

if so, when tried restore lion clone (step 4), can while booted in mountain lion, or need boot external drive?

hope makes sort of sense?

is end result looking upgraded lion mountain lion clone of fresh ml install or fresh install of ml apps lion? don't think latter possible.
