Easiest method is simply to backup your hard disk with carbon copy cloner
- Run installer upgrade to Lion (worked perfectly for me)
- Done
If you want to fresh install and keep your old stuff....
- Backup using Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.
- Run Lion Installer (with erase and install)
- Boot
- Use migration assistant to include applications and user profile from your old disk.
- Done

FWIW Carbon Copy failed me 3 times. I know people that swear by it so im not bashing it but, I have never heard anyone complain about Time Machine.
It just works.

Carbon Copy hasn't failed me yet. I guess I'm lucky

I only care about my traktor stuff, so I want to do a fresh install. Do I just back the traktor folder up to an external drive.

Where are you backing up to?
You have to backup the music collection. Do you use iTunes or just have a folder?
If you are using iTunes and Traktor then doing a Time Machine backup will be flawless and easier, then you can get rid of anything you dont want.
But, if you just want to backup Traktor. You need to back up the Native Instruments folder in Documents and the Native Instruments folder in Applications.
Also back up any externally saved tsi as they may not be in your settings folder.
Make sure that if you have rename your hard drive that you name it exactly as it is now or Traktor will not be able to find your music and you will have to relocate it.

I have my music on a external drive, I want to back up all my traktor settings and music crates, play list

I don't keep music on my Mac, I keep all my music on a external drive. Should I just back up the whole traktor folder to an external drive. Then after I do a fresh install of lion, just drag the folder back to my MacBook pro?

I just upgraded last night.
I made sure I had an up-to-date backup on Time Machine and installed Lion.
Everything continues to work fine, including Traktor and my collection/tags/cues/metadata.
Didn't do a clean install because I didn't want to have to go through the hassle of installing everything again.
