Backup problems under SCO

Were having some problems creating a backup of a SCO box we have over NFS. IT is running  sco_sv 3.2 5.0.5 and we are backing up over an NFS mount to a Red Hat 9 box.

Were using the following command: find /. -follow -depth -print -mount  | cpio -ovcmC32768 -Ofilename.cpio

weve also tried some variations piping through dd:
find /. -follow -depth -print -mount  | cpio -ovcmC32768 | dd of=filename.cpio conv=bmode bs=32k

these didnt help any. same results.

The job always core dumps at ~2gigs. Weve tried everything we can think of. Anybody got any ideas?
