DOS Question please help

Well yes, it's a very easy question for you guys. How do I copy a folder in DOS that has also more directories inside of it? When I try copy *. * it only copies files, but not folders. What is the answer? Thanks!.

Use xcopy or xcopy32
 
eg
 
xcopy c:\*.* d:\backup /E
 
/E switch specifies that it should copy all subdirectories and their contents
