Best way to backup my 2019 MacBook Pro

Hi all

If I backup my 16" MacBook Pro using Time Machine with Monterey ver 12.2 Will the restore of my backups still be done if I update or upgrade my Mac to 12.3 or higher?

Yes, if you use Migration Assistant and restore your Time Machine backup on a Mac running a higher software version, it will restore your files without touching macOS. See here for more information on backing up with Time Machine: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201250
