DUMP + RESTORE

Hi all,

I know that if I dump a filesystem (lets say a full dump), that everything says the restore filesystem needs to be at least as big as the one the dump was made from.

But I dare ask this question anyway ...

If I have a filesystem that is 10 GIG, but because I am only using 2 GIG of that can I restore it to a 3 GIg file system?

I ask becuase somehow I have a 73 gig drive, but all my spare hard disks disks are only 36 Gig.
