    I have tried using a couple programs to make a backup of a few bootable USB flash drives I have. None of them allow it to boot after a restore. I've tried the USB Image Tool and a program called Drive Snapshot. I'd much rather use a freeware program, but am willing to pay a few bucks if need be for something decent that works.

    Any suggestions?
