Need syntax for using remote tape drive

I have two SCO Unix 5.0.5 servers. Only one has a tape drive. After making a backup using cpio of the server with the tape drive, I would like to restore selected directories to the 2nd server (overwrite same directory structure).

I'm assuming that the command below is the starting point. This command issued from the secondary server will restore the target directory from the tape device to the primary server.

cd /
rmcd primary_server "cpio -ivcdumC20480 -I/dev/rStp0 \"target_directory/*\" "

How do I redirect the restore to secondary server instead?
