man restore says:
-f file
Read the backup from file; file may be a special device file
like /dev/st0 (a tape drive), /dev/sda1 (a disk drive), an ordi-
nary file, or - (the standard input). If the name of the file is
of the form host:file or [EMAIL PROTECTED]:file, restore reads from the
named file on the remote host using rmt(8).
looks like what you need.

The liar at any rate recognizes that recreation, not instruction, is

blockhead who loudly expresses his disbelief in a story which is
told simply for the amusement of the company.
