I would get a copy of 3.3 Dos and use the program XCOPY.  You can do an
XCOPY \dir A: /s (this tells to copy all sub. dirs.) or XCOPY A: \dir /s.

Read the manual for more ways to do this.  Other than that You'd have to 
hard code a batch file to follow directory trees.

You could get the MKS toolkit and use CPIO to copy (this way your directory
can be larger than the disks).
