I am looking for an application that will backup my hard disk to another
hard disk. Well really its a CD to HD.
I want to make a complete backup of my Hard disk and burn it to a CD-R.
My problem is restoring the CD to the HD. 

I have a boot disk that will init the CD drive and from there I want to
execute a command that will take the CD image and restore it to the HD.
I want the information on the CD to be a retrievable directory tree so
I could also just restore single files (config.sys, autoexec.bat etc),
so I dont want compressing or image backups.

All the standard dos utils do not copy system or hidden files.
eg: xcopy /Y /E D:*.* C:

Note that this will be run at a DOS 6.22 prompt.
