How to back up everything from a USB flash drive?

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask, but anyway

I just have an old ass USB stick that I want to back up everything from. The filesystem, partitions, autostart stuff, whatever metadata or whatever is on the USB, the firmware (IDK, just everything, sorry I’m stupid LMAO). Would WinDiskImager32 do the job? Thanks.
