[Coco] [color computer] archiving or backing up a hard drive

Now that I only have one hard drive on my CC3, I need a way to get the 
contents of that drive to this PC.

What I wanted to do was use LHA to archive each directory in the root, but 
it won't do subdirectories. This means I would have to go to the lowest 
subdirectory and archive it's contents, then move up and archive that 
archive and the files in that directory and then move up one directory and 
.... well you get the idea, I think.

Does anyone have a method of backing up or archiving a directory and it's 
subdirectories to a file? I can then transfer that file to this PC.

Heck, it would even be okay if a utility would simply archive the whole 
drive to a file, but this would take a month of Sundays to do the whole hard 
drive.

I'm thinking that creating a DSK image would do that, but I would rather 
break it up into smaller files.

Any suggestions?
