It's almost Black Friday & I'm shopping for a USB 3.0 flash drive.
The intention is to clone the contents of whatever is on my 64bit Win 7 machine onto a bootable USB flash drive.

So if my my Win 7 system becomes corrupted, I want to be able to restore a copy from a backup from a clone that is on the USB flash drive, thus avoiding the tedious process of installing everything from scratch.

I only need to backup my system files & a few applications which are about 50GB

Is this doable?
How do you make the flash drive bootable?
If it is doable what software do I need?
