"Directory-Tree-gathering: Copy-&-Collapse/Expansion (While recording the original file path in the gathered file name.)": XXCOPY Technical Reference
"Directory-Synchronization"--including support for the use case were the source files are NTFS EFS and the destination volume does not support EFS. [file copy/sync w/ transparent un-encryption]
