Be aware that this can lead to confusion whenever the two sticks are present on the same machine (as will be the case immediately after the copy is made) since the cloned file system will have the same label and UUID as the original.
Good point.
Perhaps the best way is to do it under Windows (DD is available for Windows)?
I try to stay away from doing stuff like that on windows , though I'm sure there is some kind of dd or "rawwrite" available for Windows. The confusion is not functional problem with the system, just something to be aware of if you are going to make any kind of changes to the copy once it has been made - you probably don't want to change the original instead.
The scripted solution would probably take longer, but if the script is done carefully it probably wouldn't be very much longer... maybe worth a few extra seconds depending on how many copies you will be making. Ten extra seconds each for six copies is only an extra minute but at six thousand copies it would be more inconvenient.
I'm only ever making one or, rarely, two copies at a time so I currently don't even use a script for the whole process.
