Mikhail, users would be well advised to check their backups using this option, without having to have the space to restore:

-N Do the extraction normally, but do not actually write any changes to disk. This can be used to check the integrity of dump media
or other test purposes.
And then another "purist" will reject this as a fake and not sufficiently conclusive test... Just ask around... Because, you see, until you extract all data back and run a bit-by-bit comparison with the original, you don't really know, do you?
