what is the quickest way of dumping a DB and restoring it? I have done a

Don't use "-D" if you want fast restore ...

thanks, I read that from the doco, the reason why I am using the -D
option is because I was informed by previous people in the company that
they never got a 100% strike rate in database restoration without using
the -D or -d options. If I have enough space on the QA/staging machine
I'll give the no options dump restoration a try.
Anyone have any estimates the time differences between the -D, -d and
[using no option].
