UNIX System V is distributed mostly in CPIO format with a couple of
binary files (including a root image).  As to backup, the commands
finc(1M) and frec(1M) are used for incremental dump/restore and there
is a volcopy(1M) for copying whole filesystems.  Personally I use
cpio(1) but then I don't have finc/frec/volcopy available to me.
