I've got a couple of new dds and want to rearrange things.  Will I be 
able to use Disk Utility Restore to move the Time Machine backup from 
the partition of one drive to the partition of another drive, point Time 
Machine to the new copy and have a seamless backup?

Even a drag & drop of the Backups.backupdb folder with Finder will do 
the job.

But yes, SuperDuper and Disk Utility's Restore will to the job too.

Thanks to you and Kiraly.  Even easier than I thought.  A simple copy. 
(dds was short for disk drives)
