Unfortunately, I don't have the dump and restore in my buffer, but I ran

archive so it wouldn't restore.

There's your problem (or at least one of them). The pg_dumpall outputs straight SQL to stdout to recreate all DBs. To restore this, you would just do the following:

psql template1 < backup.dump

pg_restore is looking for one of the other output formats (tar or custom).
