Don't back up the KeySoft System Disk. The Flash Disk is a subdirectory of the KS Disk, so if you were to restore the backup of the KS Disk, your Flash Disk would replicate on your unit; in other words, in the General folder of the Flash Disk, for instance, you would have another subfolder called General with all the files that folder contained, and this would be true for every folder of the Flash Disk. You would have two copies of all the folders/files of the Flash Disk drive, one inside the other, and if you were to keep restoring the backup of the KS Disk, the Flash Disk would just replicate again, creating folders inside the original subfolders, so, for example, you would have three copies of the General folder, each inside the other, with three copies of all files in that folder if you restored a backup of the KS Disk twice, and the same would hold true for all folders of the drive. What this does is take up space and prevent you from keeping as many files on that drive, and it wouldn't be fun deleting the replication of the Flash Disk which would result if you restored the backup of the KeySoft System Disk. Plus, there's really no point in backing up the KS Disk anyway because all that should be in there are factory-installed files (and anything you yourself put in there will be lost upon a hard Reset, which is why you don't store any of your user-created files there), which are burned into the system, so they won't get deleted.
