try "man dump" :-)
according to the man page, -f filename:
-f file
Write the backup to file; file may be a special device
file like
/dev/st0 (a tape drive), /dev/rsd1c (a floppy disk drive),
an or
dinary file, or `-' (the standard output). Multiple file
names
may be given as a single argument separated by commas.
Each file
will be used for one dump volume in the order listed; if
the dump
requires more volumes than the number of names given, the last
file name will used for all remaining volumes after
prompting for
media changes. If the name of the file is of the form
``host:file'' or ``user@host:file'' dump writes to the
named file
on the remote host using rmt(8). The default path name of the
remote rmt(8) program is /etc/rmt; this can be overridden
by the
environment variable RMT.
