[Dump-users] index file

I saw that the -A option is used. As a notorious no-doc-reader, I did not
know about this option but it appears that this is to point to a TOC file.

Whenever I use restore to get files back from f.i. a DDS4 tape, the file
is always found rather fast using the -i mode, but extracting the actual
file from tape sometimes takes ages.
I guess this is because restore does not have an index file.

Am I correct in assuming that using -A with both dump and restore will
yield a faster restore of single files/dirs?

THanks
