dump 0ufa /dev/nrst0 /dev/filesystem

You may need to use the b option to specify a blocksize so your tape drive
streams.  See dump(8) for full details.

/dev/nrst0 specifies to not rewind the tape after dumping, this way you
can dump filesystems end-to-end.  See st(4) for details on the various
open modes for the SCSI tape device.
