Yes, that sounds about right. The dump only includes the tags (it should
more or less make sense if you inspect the first few lines) rather then
the index structures needed for fast lookup, and in particular the dump
does not include the original text of the messages, while the database
effectively does.

Yes, that should work.
You may also want to check the usual OS facilities for hardware
monitoring (e.g. SMART) in case your disk is unwell (rather than some
fluke filesystem corruption).
