If the copying is only for backup, you could use amanda and Samba for
the job. I've only done it with a single XP crate but it worked
flawlessly and has the advantage of allowing backups to devices smaller
than the backupee's disks, or even smaller than individual files, in
case they should be \LARGE.
cheers!
