Right.

If it were me and I had enough disk for a copy of the filesystem, I'd
copy the data to another directory and backup whatever made it. As I
recall cp may stop on error, so you could use cpio or so.
- mkdir /tmp/DOScopy
- cd /DOS
- find . | cpio -pdm /tmp/DOScopy
- mkisofs [ options ] -o /tmp/DOSbkup.iso /tmp/DOScopy
might be one solution.
