I am currently running Ubuntu Studio 22.10. I am going to replace my HDD with and SDD. At the same time, I want to return to Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS. I recognize that I may not be able to open some files created with newer versions of the applications; I can deal with that. My bigger question is: which directories (e.g home/snap, home/.mozilla, etc.) should I exclude from the backup to avoid conflicts later.

Anything outside of your /home/ can be excluded. You can use everything from the backup that is inside /home. This will generally work for all releases from and including an LTS up to the next LTS.

And if it does not work it will be a minor issue involving one specific piece of software.

snaps are kept up to date independently of the OS and are cpmpatible as long as the OS is current.
