Create iso image of persistent live usb with multiple partitions
Using this awesome tutorial I was able to create a bootable Debian live USB with persistence.
After some days using it, it's quite configured and I would like to be able to replicate it into another usb drive.
Is there any way to do it?
I was thinking of creating an ISO image of the configured USB flash drive, but since it has multiple partitions I don't even know if it is possible.

Just dd or cat the whole device file like /dev/sdb into a file and the other way around.

It's also required to umount first the device in order to make iso image or dump the iso image.

If the new USB drive is equal in size or larger, you can use dd to duplicate the drive (/dev/sdX being the template drive, /dev/sdY being the new drive):
dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY bs=1M conv=sync
Otherwise, or if the new drive is larger than the template drive and you want to use a maximum amount of space for the persistence partition, you can prepare the new drive like you did prepare the template drive and then copy the persistence partition contents from the template drive to the new drive (simple file copy).
