To expand on the cryptic answer by Roman.
You create a pipe. You start a background backup process that copies the contents of the pipe to tape (cpio or dd for example).
Now you start the export and set the file parameter to the pipe.
Export writes a byte into the pipe. The byte is read by the background process and written to tape. Repeats. Until EOF is send to the pipe by Export.
