I've never restored from tape via tar across systems,
but I have tarred/untarred a directory across systems.
You need to make sure there's rlogin access from the
source box to the destination box. Try working with
this command:

(from the source host)
# tar cvf - <source_dir> | rsh <dest_host> "cd
<dest_dir>; tar xvfp - "

Where <source_dir> is something like /tmp and
<dest_dir> is something like /tmp/inbound.
