There are a couple of ways I've used:

1) The following will copy all the Word docs into a single directory with no 
folders:

C:\> xxcopy c:\*.doc g:\TempDocs /SG

2) The following will copy all the Word docs into a single directory, 
maintaining the folder structure of your C drive within the TempDocs folder on the G 
drive:

C:\> xxcopy c:\*.doc g:\TempDocs /CLONE

and you can add an exclude file if there are certain directories on your C 
drive you do not want to back up.
