Tell Ntbackup to backup to a file. The file can definitely be located on a
USB disk. Ntbackup can't create a clone of a disk though.

Ntbackup can't backup the drive to an "image". But it support backup
the system to a file.

You can use ghost if you want to backup the full drive. And the uplus
sync will be a good choice if you want to backup your data files to the
usb driver daily.
