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%).

You ought find directory that size about 1.5G
You try:
example:

Code:

cd /; du -ms *

If example /home 600M and /usr 1000M
you can do for filesystem /

Code:

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

if you haven't free space you can do backup.....cpio by one in the order.
And you can on target system do:

Code:

cpio -ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile.cpio &
cpio -ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile_home.cpio &
cpio -ivdmlu < /mnt/backupfile_usr.cpio &

other filesystems you can transfer the method or start new SCO and transfer next filesystems by ...nfs...ftp...rcp....

you can see man find and man cpio at system SCO.
