Could I also get some samples too? While researching about pax found the URl below http://groups.google.com/groups?q=pax+backup&start=30&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rnum=34&ic=1&selm=90994t%24kl3%241%40kemoauc.mips.inka.de it seems that, at least at some point, tar,cpio and pax were not much different.I wonder how it has changed over time. Looking at the source tree for pax and cpio it is interesting how both have a number of files with the same name: cpio.h, cpio.c, tar.h, tar.c, etc..
