OK,

So obviously having asked the question I got further by examining the 
BACKUP manual in greater detail.

It seems the command I need is:

BACKUP/VERIFY/LOG DKA400:[*...] DSA3:[MEDIA.VAX_MEDIA.VAXBINDEC95...]

The presence of the '*' in the input specifier causes the directory 
structure to be preserved in the output directory.

*However* I still haven't solved the issue of timestamps. I'd like to 
preserve the original file timestamps, but whether I use this version of 
BACKUP or by saving to and then restoring from a SAVESET I still get 
modification times of the current date.

Anyone know how to get round that issue?

Cheers, Mark.
