USB Recovery Media

I have a new Dell PC with Windows 8, and it has the Dell Recovery Media software on it to backup the 'factory setup', which includes the OS. I have created the backup on an 8GB USB stick. All fairly easy so far.

However, I don't want to just have the backup on the USB stick for a few reasons.
1) I want to use the stick for other purposes.
2) I am concerned the USB stick would get overwriiten or lost anyway.

So, what are my options? Can I 'image' the USB stick somehow, and keep it safe on a hard disk somewhere? The USB media is bootable, so I need to take sure I can create another bootable device from the backup.

Any suggestions?
