Really? The manual at "man restore" mentions:
restore -r [-dDNuvy] [-b blocksize] [-f file | -P pipecommand]
[-s fileno]
And in the -r section:
newfs /dev/da0s1a
mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt
cd /mnt
restore rf /dev/sa0
So it seems that _both_ formats are supported (comparable to
tar).
One of the (in my opinion) most interesting reference sources
for dump/restore also mentions this format:
# mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt
# mkdir /tmp/oldvar
# cd /tmp/oldvar
# restore -ruf /mnt/var.dump
# umount /mnt
