I posted this over at AndroidPassions, but I'll post here too because I'm hoping for a somewhat fast answer(I'd like to flash today)

I've been running the various ICS ROMs for a couple months now, but I'm going to be going out of town for a few days and need the stability and battery life of CM, so I'm going to be trying out the CM7.2 RC1 for the next couple days...

My questions is: Should I expect any issues restoring my titanium backups going from ICS to GB?

I don't think any of my apps are ICS-only (other than gapps and various system apps of course). That is to say, I know they all are at least available in GB. But, I don't know if perhaps when I downloaded them from the Market in GB it pulls an ICS-specific version that wont restore to GB.

Any thoughts?

I would just restore the apps and no data. If you can, limit what you restore to what's necessary for your trip that way if any issues arise there are less apps to sift through as the culprit. Without knowing what apps you use, my assumption is that primarily the Google apps have ICS versions and not too many if any non-Google apps do.

I had an opposite situation as you, I have a CM7 backup and tested AOKP for a week then restored to CM7 for a weekend trip.

At the very least, if any issues arise then you can just reflash entirely and add apps from the Market.
