If I want to perform a clean install of OS X Yosemite, can I restore my Mac with a Mavericks Time Machine backup after the Yosemite installer finishes?

Do you want to restore the OS or just your data?– RuskesCommented Oct 18, 2014 at 17:37

Just the data and my preferences if possible.– TanmayCommented Oct 18, 2014 at 17:39

There should be no problem doing that.– RuskesCommented Oct 18, 2014 at 17:40

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I don't run into some message of sorts saying hey this time machine back up is from Mavericks and you can't restore it on Yosemite or something...– TanmayCommented Oct 18, 2014 at 17:42

Restoring an entire Time Machine backup is certainly possible after cleanly installing Yosemite. Just boot to the Recovery HD and choose restore from backup.
