Hi Ashish,

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

Additionally, check my previous thread http://scn.sap.com/message/10714054

Well, it may be the problem described in the note mentioned by Orkun.
Or it may be a hardware problem all the same.

For further analysis we would need more details, e.g. does it happen always with the same file, is it the first file greater than 2 GB, and so on.

In case we decide to think about hardware:
If it's not the tape, it might be the tape drive. You may have to replace it. But first I would try a cleaning tape.
