Backup your flash drives with USB Image Tool
by Brad Linder Jul 4th 2008 at 5:00PM
If you keep work documents, portable applications, or other important data on a flash drive, it's a good idea to back it up occasionally. USB Image Tool makes the process about as simple as can be. You plug in a drive, hit backup, and choose a location to store the image. You can also select a compressed file format if you want to save a little bit of space, but it takes longer to create a compressed image.

It seems this would be great for backing up, and "creating" boot from USB devices, like portable Linux or UltimateBootCD.

I have a terrific bootable USB key with a LINUX distro on it, and was hoping this product would enable me to backup to an image, and then restore it to another USB Key.
No luck!
USB Image Tool creates an image, and even allows me to "Restore" it to another USB Key. So far - so good, EXCEPT that the restored image will not boot.

This will definitely help those of us who don't ever seem to have enough flash drives.
