-In rrdtool 1.3, the dump function started producing correct xml-headers.
-Unfortunately the rrdtool restore function from the 1.2 series can not
-handle these headers. With this option you can supress the creatinon of
-the xml headers.
+If you want to restore the dump with RRDtool 1.2 you should use the
+S<--no-header> option since 1.2 can not deal with xml headers.
