I needed to expand a /var partition,
which required saving and restoring /var and /usr
did the following:
booted to backup disk
dump -0aR -h 0 -f /usr/backup/dump_var_0_20121113_1920 /dev/ada0p4
(repeat for /tmp, /usr, / partitions to be safe)
repartitioned the main disk using gpart

Cannot find file dump list
The last command looks wrong. The restore program requires
the dump file to be provided via -f, so

Hi
There is no - . This is the correct format : restore rf /path/to/dump/files
from man restore(8):
RESTORE(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual
RESTORE(8)
NAME
restore, rrestore — restore

Really? The manual at man restore mentions:
restore -r [-dDNuvy] [-b blocksize] [-f file | -P pipecommand]
[-s fileno]
And in the -r

One of the (in my opinion) most interesting reference sources
for dump/restore also mentions this format:
# mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt
# mkdir /tmp/oldvar
# cd /tmp/oldvar
# restore -ruf
