What is the syntax of the cpio command you are typing in?

What are you backing up, just the filesystems or data that may be in use when you do the backup?

Does it display the error message while backing up a particular file?

Also what verison of SCO are you using?
The syntax I am using is:
cd /
find . -depth -mount -print | cpio -ocvB -C 1024 -K 1953125 -O /dev/rStp-0

I am backing root "/" and everything below it.

Hard to tell, if the problem was caused by a particular file.

Sco Version is: Openserver 5.0.6

Thanks.
