dump/restore indexing question

I have freebsd 4.10 on one of my production servers. 

I have been using the dump/restore combo to backup my drive, and I run a 
nightly dump -9 on the /home partition, and most of the dump -9s are 
dumped to a single tape since I don't have daily acs to swap the tapes 
more than once a month or so.

I'm wondering if there is a utility that can index the dumps on a tape 
and list the time/date for each dump on the tape.  I looked through the 
dump/restore/mt  man pages, google'd, and looked though the ports 
without much luck. 

please CC this to my email, as I am not subscribed to the list anymore.. 

thanx in advance.
