Microsoft USB Flash Drive Manager is basically a software to manage different images for USB devices. It provides options to backup the files of an USB device that is connected to the computer and to restore an image to the USB drive again. This is useful if you operate with an USB device that has a limited amount of free space and that you use for different purposes, for example for work and private documents.
Individual files can be copied to a device as well but it does not seem possible to copy single files from an USB device. The flash drive can be cleared before restoring files on it but it is not necessary.
The utility provides access to change the properties of the connected USB devices such as the volume label which can be connected to the USB image that has been restored on the USB device.
The software is compatible to Windows XP and requires the Microsoft .net Framework 1.1. Once installed runtime components can be included to provide autorun functionality.

This has to be the most timely post ever. My 10y old daughter is trying to get her homework presentation to fit on her mp3 player to take to school but doesn’t want to delete her mp3s…
Perfect solution. Thanks

Nice idea, shame the app is 4 years old! Says my 32Gb flash drive has 2Gb out of 2Gb in use – pretty useless. Plus there’s no option to encrypt or password the backups that I can see.
Personally I would advise steering clear of this one unless there’s an updated version knocking around somewhere else.
