You should be able to use the non rewinding tape device. To restore, you'd use 'mt' to find the correct file, and dump it.

Google can probably help you more, and if you're serious about backups there's O'Reilly's "UNIX Backup and Recovery".

Is there an easy way to get dump to put multiple volumes on a single tape?

tar is fine for getting a directory and its contents, but for anything
more complex, it's much harder to live with.  cpio and dump are both
able to back up a directory without its contents, which is important if
you expect that permissions may change (and should be restored) in an
incremental backup.  tar handles only the most basic of situations.
