I would like to do a ufsdump from one solaris box to another solaris box that has a tape drive. Does anyone know how I can attach to the remote systems tape drive in order to do the dump?

Regards,

 
/usr/sbin/ufsdump 0uf <remote server>:<remote tape device> <local disk device>

You will need to set up root /.rhosts on the remote server to trust root on your local server.

If you are more security conscious and can't use trusted hosts the following should work over Secure Shell

ufsdump 0f - <local disk device> | ssh <remote server> dd of=<remote tape device> obs=63k
