How about something like
tar -czf - /directory_that_you_want_to_tar | ssh dd of=/dev/nrst0
Of course, the user that you're doing it as (prob. root) must
be in the other machines authorized_keys/shosts file,
and the remote user must have write access to /dev/nrst0
We did this for a 3.2 gig drive, and it took a couple of hours
(across a pretty quiet network).
