A couple of questions from a newbie:

How do I skip from a dump of one filesystem to the next one on tape?
e.g. I've done a dump of wds0a(/) then another of wd0s1e(/usr) Is
there a parameter to label the dump so I can skip to it with what I
assume is an mt command????

Also, what is the meaning of the number in parens when referring to a
unix command, e.g. dump(8).  Is this is version of the program?

Thanks.
