cpio is not able to backup files that are bigger than 2 GB, switch your backup tool to use 'dd'.

See Note 20577 - Cpio cannot backup files larger than or equal to 2 GB

Hi,

In HP-UX cpio is not support any files larger than 2GB. You have to use the dd command.

Change the parameter disk_copy_cmd to dd in init<sid>.sap file.

Also check the OSS Note 96898 - Large File support in BRBACKUP and BRRESTORE.

Thanks,

The cpio program you're using is not capable of handling files larger than 2GB.

Search for SAP Notes with "CPIO" + "2GB" and you'll find the solution for this issue on your platform.
