If you want to do a clean install of SL, and install from a backup you can do so as part of the install. Or rather at the end of the restore you are asked if you want to restore from a Time Machine backup, an external drive, or I believe another Mac. I've done two from external backups. One I didn't have connected at the time I did the install of SL. When I got to that prompt I plugged in the USB drive, it recognized the drive and offered it as the external backup.
Then once selected you can choose what from that backup you want restored, Users, Applications, Preferences, not sure what else. I selected all, and away it went. Took about 30 minutes to restore. Once done it worked great, just like I did an upgrade. If you would rather just copy things over you can do that also. And once you have a new clone of your SL system you can always just have Superduper clone it back the other way. Remember a clone is just that an exact working copy. I have Time Machine running on one external drive and I do a Smart Clone with Superduper every week. And right before I do something like install a new OS.
