CPIO Backup End of Media
I dont recommend multi tapes with CPIO.

To fit more onto a tape, I would suggest you use 'compress -H' to compress the data. Your initial find command is piped to compress -H which in turn is piped to the destination device

To read the contents of the tape you will need to use 'uncompress' which is piped from 'dd if' command and uncompress is piped to cpio
