Good afternoon!
Ideally looking for a device that has 2 USB + button. We stick a USB flash drive with information into one usb, and a clean usb into the other. Then we press the button on the device and cloning takes place. Does such a device or analogues exist?
If not, what utility would you recommend on Windows that is elementary to use (no wildly complicated interface)?. All this is necessary for an elderly person, so that he can easily make a backup copy of his working flash drive.

It exists, but the price tag is somehow inhumane:

Despite the fact that the docking station is for two HDDs with the offline copy function costs a couple of thousand.
And under Windows, the problem is that the drive letters can change. Otherwise it would be possible to write a batch file. And so "one touch" is unlikely to succeed. It will be necessary to select a source, select a receiver (do not confuse them!), start copying. We came again to the explorer or any file manager.

The utility - dd (under windows, respectively, windd), allows you to copy block devices (disks, flash drives, ..) sector-by-sector, and not necessarily to the same flash drive, but, for example, to a file.
If you need to copy exactly the files, then use the regular utilities in windows - xcopy for example.
If you need to copy a file system that is not supported by windows, or if flash drives are of different sizes (for example, some kind of ext4 or zfs), then use clonezilla (a powerful utility for cloning, backup, etc.).

Exist. But they have a professional scope and therefore are expensive.
If you really only need to backup a flash drive, why not an external drive? There are many such devices with a button.
There are also devices the size of network storage, which, in addition to the actual network storage, can backup everything that is put into them.
Well and so... The screw planner is able to distinguish between sticked flash drives. Try to make a task where the trigger will be "inserted flash drive ID XYZ" and the action is copying to such and such a path. For me, it was so unsightly once that the type-authorization on a flash drive worked.

If it fails, then let it turn to specialists.

Computer - RMB to a USB flash drive Copy
RMB to a second USB flash drive - paste
If it doesn't work - wean it from the PC!
