If my memory serves, you're looking at something similar to taking a snapshot and then sending it to the tape device, so zfs send <snapshot> | (tape device access). This, IIRC, is functionally identical to dump/restore. The Solaris ZFS Admin guide is generally helpful (even as we live in the FreeBSD world).
