sysdumpdev -L

this will show you information on the previous dump.

-----
sysdumpdev [-P] [-p Device | -s Device]
sysdumpdev [-l | -q | -e | -z | -r Host:Path | -p Device | -s Device | -L]
sysdumpdev [-d | -D] Directory
sysdumpdev [-c | -C]
sysdumpdev [-k | -K]
sysdumpdev [-i | -I]

Change the primary and secondary dump device designations
in a running system.

-d Directory Specify the directory where the dump is copied to at
boot time. If the copy fails the system continues to boot.
-D Directory Specify the directory where the dump is copied to at
boot time. If the copy fails then a menu is displayed to
allow user to copy the dump.
-e Estimate the size of the dump (in bytes) for the
current running system.
-k Requires the key mode switch to be in the service
position before a dump can be forced with the reset
button or the dump key sequences.
-K The reset button or the dump key sequences will force
a dump with the key in the normal position, or on a
machine without a key mode switch.
-l List the current dump device designations.
-L Display statistical information about the previous dump.
-p Device Change the primary dump device to the specified
device temporarily.
-P Make the dump device specified by -p or -s flags permanent.
Can only be used with -p or -s flags.
-q Suppress any error messages that are written
to stdout.
-r Host:Path Free the space used by the remote dump file.
-s Device Change the secondary dump device to the specified
device temporarily.
-z Write out to stdout the string containing the size
of the dump in bytes and the name of the dump device
if a new dump is present.
-c Turns OFF compression for next dump.
-C Turns ON compression for next dump.
-i Indicates that sysdumpdev was called from an IBM function.
-I Resets the indications of -i option.

If no flag is specified, the permanent dump device designations are used.

quotarestore

QUOTARESTORE(8) 					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					   QUOTARESTORE(8)

NAME

     quotarestore -- restore dumped quota information to a file system volume

SYNOPSIS

     quotarestore [-d] file-system [dump-file]

DESCRIPTION

     The quotarestore program restores dumped quota information to a file system.  The file dump-file should be in the format produced with
     quotadump(8).  The quotas, expiration times, and configured grace times listed in the dump file are loaded into the named file system.  The
     file-system argument should be a file or directory on the (mounted) file system, not a device special file.

     If the -d option is given, quota entries on the file system that are not mentioned in the dump file will be deleted.  Otherwise, they are
     left alone.

     If the dump-file is not specified, standard input is used.

SEE ALSO

     quota(1), libquota(3), fstab(5), edquota(8), quotadump(8)

HISTORY

     The quotarestore command appeared in NetBSD 6.0.
