According to this manual above, I try to create a backup file of entire disk inside the file system, but it doesn't work:
Code:
  
scounix# mount -f NFS 192.168.1.246:nfs /mnt
scounix# cd / ; find ./ -print cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile.cpio &
4445
scounix#

What's wrong?

Take the & off the end of the line, and see what error messages if any you get.
Also with this command you might copy the contents of /mnt onto /mnt.

I've done:
Code:
 
scounix# cd / ; find ./ -print cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile.cpio

There will be a 5120KB file, very quickly created.
It cannot be a copy of the whole system:
Code:
scounix# dfspace
/         :     Disk space: 3402,84 MB of 4000,00 MB available (85,07%).
/stand    :     Disk space:  14,15 MB of  24,41 MB available (57,97%).
/usr2     :     Disk space: 53678,51 MB of 64423,23 MB available (83,32%).

Open the cpio file with vi and see what's in it.

Code:
  
scounix# mount -f NFS 192.168.1.246:nfs /mnt
scounix# cd / ; find ./ -print -name ./mnt -prune | cpio -ovfB > /mnt/backupfile.cpio &

red: without /mnt/backupfile.cpio I hope find SCO can use find with -prune
sienna: pipe must be if cpio -o
