USB Image Tool is a free and open source application for Windows that enables users to easily backup and restore the contents of their USB device (e.g. flash drive, external hard drive, etc.) in the form of "images". This tool can be used to quickly create a backup image of the entire contents of a USB device and store it on a local hard drive. The image can then be used to quickly restore the USB device's original contents, even if the device has been formatted or has had its contents changed. USB Image Tool also allows users to quickly copy the contents of one USB device to another, even if the two devices have different file systems. It also allows users to securely erase the contents of a USB device, and it can be used to quickly format a USB device.
