I was trying backup and restore across multiple volumes(floppy disks) using the cpio operation.
For backup i used the following command
cpio -ocavBO <pathname> It asked for the next disks until the backup is complete. But when i tried to restore, i used the command
cpio -itBI <pathname>
at the end of reading the first disk the output was
"cpio: end of file encountered prior to end of archive" and the operation exited.

why is it happening this way? Any help will be highly appreciated.
