I might just be being stupid here, but can't you mount your DOS partition, and just backup whatever directory you mounted it on? I guess it might create some problems come restore time, but that could easily be fixed in a version w/ better MSDOS filesystem skills. You can use either mount_msdos directly or mount -t msdos. Unless I'm missing something simple, which is quite possible. :-} MAtt
