Code:
man zfs

tells to use the zfs send command for data backup and zfs receive for a restore.
The output can be redirected to a (big!) file or a device (e.g. a tape drive that is represented as a device).
If you have a robotic tape library, then you better look for a professional (mostly commercial) data backup application that can handle multiple tape drives. Contact Oracle or IBM for suggestions.
