recursive copy in VMS

Guys
I am looking for a way to do a recursive copy in VMS.

something like cp -r.

I tried the foll soln:
$ backup sys$login:[000000...]*.*;* disk$abc:[test]test.bck/save
$ set def disk$abc:[test]
$ backup test.bck/save

but it doesn't create the directory tree, just all files in one
directory.

Any suggestions? I tried reading about RCP (too confusing).

Can I make BACKUP work? How?

thanks in advance
