backup vmware

[roland]

Good evening,
I have a vmware installation with the virtual clients, Centos 5, fedora6  
and Winserver.
I try to do a backup with
cd   cd /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/Other\ Linux\ 2.6.x\ Centos/
with
-rw------- 1 root root  1061158912 Oct  5 17:51  
564d73c6-014e-35e0-3ae5-f6f089429332.vmem
-r--r--r-- 1 root root          11 Oct  5 17:51  
564d73c6-014e-35e0-3ae5-f6f089429332.vmem.WRITELOCK
-rw------- 1 root root        8664 Oct  5 17:51 nvram
-rw------- 1 root root 32212254720 Nov 16 19:38 Other Linux 2.6.x  
kernel-flat.vmdk
-rw------- 1 root root         365 Oct  5 18:01 Other Linux 2.6.x  
kernel.vmdk
-r--r--r-- 1 root root          11 Oct  5 17:51 Other Linux 2.6.x  
kernel.vmdk.WRITELOCK
-rw------- 1 root root           0 Aug  7 11:08 Other Linux 2.6.x  
kernel.vmsd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root         938 Oct  5 17:51 Other Linux 2.6.x  
kernel.vmx
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root       26870 Oct  5 14:53 vmware-0.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      103160 Oct  5 12:14 vmware-1.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root       59830 Sep 27 04:46 vmware-2.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      514567 Nov 16 16:49 vmware.log
taking the backup with
find . -print|cpio -ovBc >/dev/st0
gives the error
field not sufficient for storing file size
So I assume the filesize 32 Gb of the virtual client is to much.

How can I do the backup???
