Hi there.
I think you'll have to specify a regular file using the -d (destination) option and then transfer that file to the system with a tape drive attached using ftp.
Given that you're creating a recovery tape for a system with no tape drive - it might be more useful for you tp configure another system as an Ignite server - which would remove the need for tape drives altogether, your box could be recovered over the network.
