Use ssh. I suggest rhosts-RSA authentication.
rdump uses the rcmd(3) interface which doesn't pass over ssh. You would
have to dump to stdout and forward this explicitly over ssh, e.g.
dump 0f - / | ssh tapehost buffer -o /dev/rsa0
The basic command on the tape host to write the incoming dump
archive to tape would be "dd of=/dev/rsa0 bs=10k", but I strongly
suggest using a buffering command like ports/misc/{buffer,team}.
