+.BI \-A " archive_file"
+Archive a dump table-of-contents in the specified
+.I archive_file
+to be used by
+.BR restore (8)
+to determine whether a file is in the dump file that is being restored.
+.TP
+.BI \-b " blocksize"
+The number of kilobytes per dump record. The default blocksize is 10,
+unless the
+.B \-d
+option has been used to specify a tape density of 6250BPI or more,
+in which case the default blocksize is 32. Th maximal value is 1024.
+Note however that, since the IO system slices all requests into chunks
+of
+.B MAXBSIZE
+(which can be as low as 64kB), you can experience problems with
+.BR dump (8)
+and
+.BR restore (8)
+when using a higher value, depending on your kernel and/or libC versions.
+.TP
+.BI \-B " records"
+The number of 1 kB blocks per volume. Not normally required, as
+.B dump
+can detect end-of-media. When the specified size is reached,
+.B dump
+waits for you to change the volume. This option overrides the calculation of
+tape size based on length and density. If compression is on this limits the
+size of the compressed output per volume. Multiple values may be given
+as a single argument separated by commas. Each value will be used for one
+dump volume in the order listed; if
+.B dump
+creates more volumes than the
+number of values given, the last value will be used for the remaining
+volumes. This is useful for filling up already partially filled media
+(and then continuing with full size volumes on empty media) or mixing media
+of different sizes.
