automated, multi-volume backup with cpio and do it in cron job

...the problem is that if you were to redirect output of cpio...

find / -depth -print | cpio -ovcBK 1200 -O /dev/rfd096ds15 > /dev/console 2>&1

and cpio will not be "reading" from the tty you are at.

I might suggest using some other backup utility. Take a look at...
