retro restores in X

I can simply put a new one in,
format and use retrospect to restore the server and it's immediately ready
to go with all users, groups, passwords, permissions, netinfo database,
etc... First - could someone confirm this for me?

The problem with this is that on that new drive you would then have to install the OS (exact same one as you want to replace it with, which could be a pain with updates and whatnot), and then the retro client, and then config in the retro software, etc, etc...


My plan is to aim the restore at an external firewire drive, then take the firewire drive over to the server, install the new hard drive in the server, and use CCC to copy over the restore drive from the FW to the new internal drive. Much easier and faster.

any holes in my plan?
