One final question is whether the dump/restore process is the best approach in this instance? I have read about using dd but am not entirely sure whether this would do what I need?

No, you should use dump/restore and if it is the root partition you will need to edit fstab afterwards.

PS There's a FAQ all about this. I have no wish to decry the bsdvault article you quote, since I haven't read it -- it may even be the same as the FAQ. But if the FAQ or handbook has a section answering your question, then it is always likely to be the best starting point.
