You could, if I could get it.

When I do this:

pg_restore -l

it just hangs. No CPU usage, no disk usage - just sits there.

When I do this:

pg_restore -l --file dbsnapshot

... same thing.

When I supply database credentials via -U and -W, then it simply displays:

pg_restore: [tar archiver] could not find header for file toc.dat in tar
archive

Not very helpful, I know. Any other ideas?
