Copy the dump file onto another disk in Solaris 10

I have a Solaris 10 machine, with that I have created a back up dump file in export/home. Now I have connected another hard drive to the same machine for restore. I have used Ufsdump to create dump file.

What are the next steps once I connect another empty hard drive?
Do I need to configure or mount or what needs to be done so that I copy the dump file into this hard drive and ufsrestore?

The output for ufsrestore is as below,

# ufsrestore xf /export/home/root.dump
Warning: ./lost+found: File exists
You have not read any volumes yet.
Unless you know which volume your files are on you should start with last volume and work towards the first.
Specify the next volume #:

Thanks a ton Hanno, I got it working with similar hardware configuration.
You have been a constant support in getting this done. I am grateful to you.

Under what hardware differences this would work?
If there are differences in hardware what to use to clone?
This particular task I did as a mock drill, which was just a raw machine with some files. But if it were to be a full fledged machine with various application running on it then, will the applications work after cloning in target machine by this procedure?

What is the alternate command for fssnap in Solaris sun OS 4.1.3? Or In the procedure from the two posts what that could change for 4.1.3? I have asked this in another post you can reply there if you wish to.
