You can restore files from a remote tape drive by adding remote-host: to the front of the tape device name when using the ufsrestore command.
ufsrestore xf [user@]remote-host:/dev/rmt/n filename |
The following example restores files using a remote tape drive /dev/rmt/0 on the system venus.
# ufsrestore xf venus:/dev/rmt/0 filename |
