Well, then you’ll have to get your hands dirty. Sorry about that. I’m planning to start refactoring and improving backups and restores next week, but it can take a while until everything’s peachy again.
That’s great! I was going to suggest exactly those steps. 
For anyone reading this in the future: If you need to edit the dump.sql (which might be quite large), I suggest Scintilla and SciTE as editor. It handles those large files without problems.
