You are probably going to have to process the 7.4 dump file before
it can be used to reload the 7.1 database. This shoudln't be too
bad. You might have some performance problems with queries that work
well in 7.4 and not in 7.1. 7.1 doesn't have schemas, so if you were
making use of those you might have to figure out how to get by without
them. You should probably review the release notes for other added
features since 7.1 that you might be using.
