Maverick is causing problems with my music production software (Pro Tools, Reason) I want to revert back to Mountain Lion by doing a clean install. Is it possible to copy everything off the drive except the operating system using something like carbon copy cloner?

A good article about doing such a downgrade here: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/mac/downgrade-mavericks-... . Unfortunately it's not trivial due to differences in file structure.

Personally, I would ensure that I had both a clone of the disk and a full Time Machine backup before starting the process.
