'restore' not restoring timestamps

    Hello,

    I do my backups with good old dump & restore on my
    Debian GNU/linux server. I did check some "full
    restore" when the backup system was installed,
    and the backups are OK - at least I can list
    the files on randomly selected tapes from past weeks.

    I just needed to do a very partial restore
    on a filesystem (I hate users :-), and it
    worked - or at least I got the files, directories
    and proper permissions. But no timestamps.
    Somehow, every restored files and directories
    is listed as 'Jan 1 1970'. I know some files
    are more recent than that :-) It's not a problem
    for those particular files, but it bothers me.

    All dumps are done on DLT7000, plus some filesystems
    on DDS2. All are done with 'dump -0u'. Filesystems
    are all ext3, kernel 2.4.20 (custom compile).
    Underlying disks are RAID5 arrays.

    Does anyone has any idea why I don't get my
    timestamps back ?
