On completion, it generated this:

=== dd_rhelp INFO - 1 parsed chunks...
- Biggest unparsed chunk: 0 byte
- xferd(succ/err): 298.09 GiB(298.09 GiB/332.00 KiB)
100.00%(99.99%/0%)
left to parse: 0 byte
- End of file: EOF = 298.09 GiB

So it seems all that must be done is dd that image back to the new HD when it
arrives. I'm not sure how long it took. I don't see in the 1MB+ log the start

guess it took a bit over 5 hours.
Thanks to Greg, David, Dave and Carlos for the help!!!
