After digging a bit further and getting hints from Rohit, the correct syntax to 
achieve this without using any additional scripting would be: 

list volumes tags[0].key=remote_backup tags[0].value=yes 

This will only list the volumes with the tag remote_backup=yes 

Thanks for your help and ideas
