I'll show this example with rsh, but ssh would work much the same way;

>From the sb1000:

rsh v800hostname -n "dd if=/dev/rmt/0 bs=20k" | dd of=/dev/rmt/1 bs=10k

or from the v880:

dd if=/dev/rmt/0 bs=20k | rsh sb1000hostname "dd of=/dev/rmt/1 bs=10k"

You'll need to adjust the device names and the blocking factor (the bs= part)
to suit whatever-it-is you're actually trying to copy.
