opening imageUSB bin output file with different software

[seccentral]

132
Hello,
I've used imageUSB to make a backup of an usb drive with mbr and 2 ext4 partitions (it has a linux distro installed on it)
All worked fine.

The question is, is it a propretary format or can i open it with other tools open source or not?
Most importantly, can i use linux's dd to restore from the bin to a drive ?
I've seen a custom header, how long in bytes is it ?
For instance, can i do a

dd if=image.bin bs=512 skip=[1/2/4] of=/dev/sdb

where /dev/sdb would be the flash drive to restore to and
where the skip value would mean 1*block size or 2 or 4 depending on imageUSB's custom header length in the bin file.136

imageUSB's .bin files have a 512-byte header added to the beginning of the raw image. More information from the help file...

imageUSB's .bin File Format:
imageUSB's .bin files have a 512-byte header added to the beginning of the raw image.

Header Format:

0	32	Program name string "imageUSB" (wchar + null terminator)
32	4	Program version major integer
36	4	Program version minor integer
40	4	Program version build integer
44	4	Program version revision integer
48	8	Image length in bytes (excluding header, unsigned long long)
56	8	Image checksum value* (deprecated, unsigned long long, kept for compatibility)
64	66	MD5 checksum* (wchar + null terminator)
130	82	SHA1 checksum* (wchar + null terminator)
212	300	Not used - reserved for future use

You can also mount the image file as a virtual disk using the OSFMount software.
