Backup:

$ dd if=/dev/sdX of=cf_card.img

Restore:

$ dd if=cf_card.img of=/dev/sdX

ErikA: 'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Or: dd: /dev/sdg: No such file or directory :) – SvenW Aug 4 '11 at 20:55
Hehe. In the case of a question where the OS isn't specified, I just default to linux/BSD. They ought to be using that anyway. :) – ErikA Aug 4 '11 at 20:56

How about copying the files on it with the standard file manager of the OS you use, and which you didn't tell us
