When I do a backup "find / -o -print | cpio -ocv -O /file_system_in_AIX" in a NFS mounted on AIX system appears the error:
The AIX file System is created for big files
As I can solve it?
SCO OpenServer 5.0.6
Got something to add? Send me email.

NFS isn't AIX. You have a (N)etwork (F)ile (S)ystem that happens to have an AIX file system under it.
NFS V2 only supports up to 2GB. NFS V3 supports more.
SCO 5.0.6 uses V2, Openserver 6 uses V3. I have no idea what your AIX uses, and I don't know what happens when a V2 client mounts a V3 server. However, the answer is going to be on the AIX side, not on the SCO, because 5.0.6 only has V2.
I did find this from (link)
but again I'm unclear on exactly how NFS V3 interacts with V2.

Oh, and of course cpio itself is running on OSR5.0.6 so it may be IT that can't handle the offset - in fact, that's probably the issue.

I seem to recall that last time I tried this (1988?) the problem with moving cpio *tapes* between systems was the little endian/big endian problem. There was a switch in AIX's cpio that let me make a tape that could be read on ATT a SVR4 system (50MHz 486 IIRC).

In my case, the applied solution is:
cd /
tar cvf - . | rcmd address_of_remote_system "dd of=remote_device"
The speed is very, very best and no have the problem 'file too large'
