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.
