"Reached end of medium on input.
If you want to go on, type device/file name when ready."

can I can restore my backup. Please help me.

cpio error

Does it happen on more than one tape?

Have you switched the server off when you have rebooted? The tape drive / controller needs a hard reset at times.

Have you cleaned the drive?

Are you able to cpio -itv < /dev/rStp0?

If the answers are all yes then you probably have a faulty tape drive.
