I have created a number of dump files using Linux dump(8), using the -A option to get a table of contents on disk (the backups are on tape). Now I'm trying to look into these archive files, using

 restore -i -A <archive>`

However, this insists on asking what tape to use, and complains if I say none. What am I doing incorrectly? I was hoping that I can use these archive index files without having to insert the tape to use.

Apparently, the TOC files have been corrupted, and restore opens the tape when it gets to the end of this file.
