I'm having a problem restoring a tape on my backup system. When I entered the
cpio command and hit enter, it just hung there and did nothing. Here is the
exact command and arguments I used.
cpio -ivdum -B /dev/rct0

cpio -ivdum -B /dev/rct0
Did I use an incorrect argument? Any help would be appreciated.

Unless you have some strange version of cpio, the command
shown above would just hang. What you probably want is:
cpio -ivdum -B < /dev/rct0
or (for some cpio's)
cpio -ivdum -B -I /dev/rct0
