-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.
 
 =item B<--daemon> I<address>
 
 Address of the L<rrdcached> daemon. If specified, a C<flush> command is sent
 to the server before reading the RRD files. This allows B<rrdtool> to return
-fresh data even if the daemon is configured to cache values for a long time. To
-specify a UNIX domain socket use the prefix C<unix:>, see example below. Other
-addresses are interpreted as normal network addresses, i.E<nbsp>e. IPv4 or IPv6
-addresses in most cases.
