Backup to SCSI Tape Backup aborts

I am trying to make a full backup of my system using the cpio command. The Tape Unit is a SCSI DDS.

The process started fine but after about 30 minutes, it just stopped and showed the following message:

1755 Signal 31 - Core dumped

Any idea of what is causing this and how to fix it?

Thanks,
zionpc

BACKUP_ADDHOST(8)					       AFS Command Reference						 BACKUP_ADDHOST(8)

NAME
       backup_addhost - Adds a Tape Coordinator entry to the Backup Database

SYNOPSIS
       backup addhost -tapehost <tape machine name>
	   [-portoffset <TC port offset>]
	   [-localauth] [-cell <cell name>] [-help]

       backup addh -t <tape machine name>
	   [-p <TC port offset>]
	   [-l] [-c <cell name>] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       The backup addhost command creates a Tape Coordinator entry in the Backup Database. The entry records

       o   The host name of the Tape Coordinator machine where the Tape Coordinator (butc) process runs, as specified with the -tapehost argument.

       o   The Tape Coordinator's port offset number, as specified with the -portoffset argument. An entry for the port offset must also appear in
	   the /var/lib/openafs/backup/tapeconfig file on the Tape Coordinator machine, where it is mapped to a UNIX device name (for a tape
	   device) or pathname (for a backup data file).

       Each Tape Coordinator must have its own port offset number, and the command fails if a Backup Database entry already exists for the
       requested port offset number. To display existing Tape Coordinator entries, use the backup listhosts command.

OPTIONS
       -tapehost <tape machine name>
	   Specifies the fully-qualified hostname of the machine for which to create a Tape Coordinator entry in the Backup Database. The machine
	   must have an entry in either the cell's naming service (such as the Domain Name Service) or the host file (/etc/hosts or equivalent) on
	   the machine where the command is issued.

       -portoffset <TC port offset>
	   Specifies the Tape Coordinator's port offset number. Provide an integer from the range 0 through 58510, or omit this argument to use
	   the default value of 0 (zero). The value must match the port offset number recorded for the same combination of Tape Coordinator and
	   tape device or file in the /var/lib/openafs/backup/tapeconfig file on the Tape Coordinator machine named by the -tapehost argument.

       -localauth
	   Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The backup command interpreter presents it to
	   the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument. For more
	   details, see backup(8).

       -cell <cell name>
	   Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see backup(8).

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES
       The following command creates an entry in the Backup Database that assigns port offset number 4 to a Tape Coordinator running on the
       machine "backup1.abc.com":

	  % backup addhost -tapehost backup1.abc.com -portoffset 4

       The following command creates a Backup Database entry that assigns port offset number 0 to a Tape Coordinator on the machine
       "backup3.abc.com":

	  % backup addhost backup3.abc.com

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
       The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on every machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged
       onto a server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
