How do I clone a USB stick

Is there a way to clone a USB stick that has the Windows installation to my Linux PC so that I can just re clone it back to the USB when I need it to install Windows 10 on someone’s computer? I use etcher, which has a clone option, but it needs a drive to clone it to. What are my options?
Thanks.

So you should use Windows to make the Win10 installer usb… If you need to clone a drive I suggest clonezilla or the cool gadget i found a while back. This little thing is amazing! https://www.reddit.com/r/geeksunite/comments/w7qavv/hands_down_my_pick_for_1_gadget/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Thanks. I don’t have access to a windows computer. I only need the USB to install it for clients.
I’ll give clonezilla a try, I use it to clone SSDs, never tried it for USB cloning.

You might be able to clone a Windows install usb with clonezilla. provided you have one made already. here is a way to make a Windows install USB on Linux

I can confirm WoeUSB is working nicely. If you change distro often Ventoy is another great tool for managing / installing ISO
