Had Been Looking for Such Backup Software for Long Time

Had been looking for a software that could backup Flash Memory for long time and work well. Most of the systems I work on are using Windows embedded OS and use Flash Memory and most backup software will not allow us to do a complete backup from Flash Card. Another advantage is that the backup is to an image file and very covenient.
