You use the ft command to do backups, restores, and to read tape labels.
As far as the software to do the actual backups and restores, you can use
dump/restore or any archiver that will allow piping.  I usually use tar
like this:

backup:      tar cvf - | ft
restore:     ft | tar xvf -
read label:  ft
