  Using Wildcards to Copy an Entire Directory Structure

  You must execute a DCL command to duplicate an entire
  directory structure.  To execute a DCL command, choose
  DCL Command from FileView's Utilities menu.  FileView
  opens a window and displays the

  DCL prompt ($).  You can then enter a DCL command.

  To duplicate a directory structure, use the DCL command
  BACKUP. By also using the ellipsis wildcard, you can create
  an output directory structure that copies the same structure
  as the input directory structure.

  You can also move an entire input directory structure to an
  output directory structure on another disk.  To do this, use the
  following DCL command:

  $  BACKUP  DISK1:[JONES...]*.*;*  DISK2:[*]*.*;*
