Multivolume cpio backups question

[Charles Widepy]

I'm sure this has been asked before. I didn't keep a note of the
answer because it seemed to be RTFM. Well I've searched for hours in
TFM and in other places, but I can't seem to find the answer.

I want to back up some source files to diskette. Unfortunately they
don't all fit on one diskette. I could manually split the list of
files input to cpio to create several backups, but I'm sure I heard
of a way for cpio to prompt for the next backup volume (diskette).

I would be most appreciative of any help.
