I don't know about any benefits to cpio--I've just been exploring / thinking about modifying my backup procedures. Probably the biggest reason I dug into that find ... cpio command was because find has always been sort of my nemesis--I've always found it aggravating to use (compared to ms-dos equivalents), and I prefer to use locate whenever possible.
