How can I back up directories created under the Windows environment in DOS? The directories may contain long filenames, system files, hidden files, multi-level subdirectories, etc.
At least xcopy won't do it.

I also tried some software called Xclone. It said it seemed very easy to use, but actually it doesn't support long filenames.
There was also something called LCOPY in some LFN TOOL, but it doesn't work on my DOS7.1.
Are there any other DOS tools I can use?

LCOPY is usable and supports English long filenames, but note that it does not support Chinese long filenames. Don't use MSBACKUP and the like, because they do not support long filenames.
