VMWare USB Boot Drive Backup
We have installed a new VMware vSphere 5 Essentials server. The VM image is installed to the USB boot drive and the server boots to VMWare. (There are not virtual servers configured yet)
In the event that the USB drive becomes damaged/corrupt, I would like to back this up and store a spare with the server for speed of recovery.
Can anyone advise on the best method and policy of backing up the USB drive?
Thanks

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
