Remote dumps from SVR4?

How can I backup my SVR4 system to a tape on a Sun?

There did not seem to be a dump host:dev type command.  The only thing
that I could think of was to mount an RFS partition from another
machine with a tape drive, but my Sun only has nfs!

Is there anyway around this? Maybe I should use gnu tar.
