I have a recent backup of the hard drive which I made using dump, andI have
a new hard drive on order.  My recovery plan is as follows:
1. Burn a new netinst CD from a recent build (I am running Squeeze,btw)
2.  Replace the hard drive
3.  Use the netinst CD to set up the filesystem on the new hard drive
4.  Recover the backup using restore.

Wouldn't it be simpler and much faster if you just booted from a liveCD or DVD that supports "dump" and did everything from the liveenvironment (assuming that is viable)?
