Reading this thread confuses me a little bit. There is no need to backup
a cluster in order to move it to another disk within the same machine.
Stopping the Database, moving $PGDATA, adjusting scripts and routines if
nessecary and firing up the whole thing would do fine.

Do you already have the backup you want to restore? If so, how
was it made, exactly?
Yes.
I used pg_dump to make the backup.
Well, if you made it without specifying any non-default options
you're not telling me about, you should initdb on the new drive (if
you haven't already), create any roles you had in the old database
which you want in the new one, create the database with the name you
want it to have, and run psql against that database using the file
created by pg_dump.
