SCO 5.0.5 CPIO with multiple volume archives

Hi all,

Anyone know how to use cpio to create multiple volumes per archive?
Ie, I am trying to backup a complete sco box, but am faced with the 2G
filesize limitation, so want to split the archive into several smaller
files. I have tried -K[volumesize] -C10240, however I get the error
'end of file encountered prior to expected end of archive'

Alternatively, does anyone know how to get around the 2G limit on SCO
5.0.5?

Thanks in advance,

Ben.
