Hi,

I copy from the CF card back to my PC ( a mac ) using rsync.

By copying from the CF card back to the PC the folder structure is
preserved.

You might want to check to see if rsync has been ported to the
PC ( windows).

With rsync the backup is extremely fast ( after the first).
the command I use is

#!/bin/sh
# Add --delete to delete files on the target that are not on the source
rsync -av --delete /Volumes/CFILIAD/ /Users/jerry/CardBackup

which is a one liner
