If you are running 4.2 you will need to make the following link:
ln -s /sbin/rmt /etc
Then set up your "hosts.{allow,deny,equiv}" files to give remote
machines access to the one with the tape drive.
You can then use "tar" or "cpio" like this:
tar cvf remotehost:/dev/st0 /
or
find / | cpio -ov -O user@remotehost:/dev/st0
for mor info:
man rmt
man tar
man cpio
