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).
