Execute something like the following on the host that has the tape
drive, where "remotehost" is the machine you want to back up:
ssh user@remotehost "tar cvf - dir | gzip -c" | dd of=/dev/nsa0 bs=8k
Your remote command could be a script of some kind. As long as it
writes the archive to stdout, you can pipe it through ssh and send it
wherever you like.
