For Unix/Linux, see man pages on rmt and dump. Essentially , 
you need to specify the tape dev in the following format - 

user@host:/dev/...

Since rmt uses rsh , you need to make sure to have the
usual hosts.equiv or .rhosts stuff.

I have taken many GBs of backups to remote tapes
using rmt between various Unix flavours.
