My sisters MBP has an intermittent sound issue and a visit to the Genius Bar later determined that the issue is software rather than hardware. He suggested we backup and reinstall and recover our data from the Time Machine backups.

It sounds quite straight forward. Is it though? With a fresh installation of SL is it a case of connecting the Time Machine HDD and recovering the data and programs from there? She has MS Office and a few other programs installed. Will they be recovered too, or do we have to find the DMG's and re-install before recovering the data?

Thanks.
