Please tell me which is the best way to consider when restoring from a dump archive tape in which several file systems have been archived to a single tape?
 
You can move between filesystems on the tape with the 'mt fsf' command.

mt fsf --- moves to the next dump on the tape.

Make sure you're using the non-rewind version of the tape device. Mike
