	That will actually restore your dump on the machine you are
	restoring from.  If you just want to grap the already dumped file
	and not restore:

	# ssh remotehost 'cat dump_file' | cat - > local_dump_file

		or

	# ssh remotehost 'dump 0af - / ' |cat - > local_dump_file

	or you could just use scp.
