/sbin/restore isvf 1 /dev/rst0

you have to list each dump separately, to get a list of the
dump contents on the screen:
/sbin/restore stf 1 /dev/rst0
||| | |
||| | \_______________ same as above
||| \_________________ arg to 's' flag, same as above
||\___________________ same as above
|\____________________ list the contents of the dump
| do NOT restore any files
\_____________________ same as above
if you find that there is only 1 dump on the tape, then you
rewound the tape after making the previous dumps and overwrote the
earlier dumps. only the last one remains on the tape. ;((
this is the difference between /dev/nrst0 and /dev/rst0
nrst0 means dont rewind when the dump finishes.
