Is not the - sign by itself, to tell restore that its to take from 
stdin sufficient?

Frankly, that elipsis thing should be removed from the files header as 
its very confusing even to an old hand, although my qualification as 
an old hand might be my age more than the number of years onboard the 
amanda ship.  Likewise, the use of pipes really should be deprecated 
IMO since tar at least has had the -xzf option which calls gzip to 
unpack it since forever, or maybe even longer.  Dump, for the various 
filesystems might be another color of horse though.
