Afio makes cpio-format archives. It deals somewhat gracefully with input data corruption. Supports multi-volume archives during interactive operation. Afio can make compressed archives that are much safer than compressed tar or cpio archives. Afio is best used as an `archive engine' in a backup script.
I've been using for some backups and it has worked fine. And for backups, I prefer to use cpio than tar.
