Useful tool..Thanks.
this software is cool, i have few pendrive, all with important data, really need to backup it into ISO
wouldn’t it be easier to just copy all files directly into a folder?
what are the benefits of creating an iso file?

You can copy all your files but what if you are using your pendrive for running an OS from your pendrive? So taking images is the best way. Also by taking image you are taking the exact snapshot of the data that is present in the USB pen drive.
OK. Nice tool. But someone has an idea, how to convert this image into something, that could be used with for example Daemon Tools?
