Sorry I have one instance running with a couple of post 7.4.3 changes (7.4
stable CVS) that will appear in 7.4.4 if and when it is released and I
misremembered that as 7.4.4 having been released.

You do NOT have to do a dump and restore when going from 7.4.2 to 7.4.3
as long as you build 7.4.3 the same way you did 7.4.2. You want some sort
of backup in case something happens during the upgrade, but you shouldn't
need to use it.
