I suggest that you use

   cd /; find . -depth -print | cpio -ocv | strm /dev/mt/rmt0

It's much better to be able to restore files somewhere else.

find . -print | sort -r | cpio ...

also has some advantages if you are using floppies and want to find a file
(use fixcpio to start in the middle of a floppy series).
