Anyone? A TL;DR version is:

- restoring from tape 1 doesn't ask for the 2nd, reads finishes with
  "failed; end of file" but restore is SUCCESS
- restoring from tape 2 asks for more tapes, inserting tape 1 continues
  the restore but at the end asks for more tapes

So what's the correct way to restore a multi-tape dump? (Man page says
to start with tape 1, but that doesn't seem to be working).

thanks in advance,
