Can I clone the recovery USB drive?

I have read about the limitation on creating more than one recovery drive.
Can I use something like the clone function of Macrium to copy it to another flash drive?
Thanks

To answer my own question:
I used Acronis to clone the recovery flash drive.
Macrium didn't seem to want to clone a flash drive.
You can make multiple recovery USB drives, you only get the one prompted chance.
Just follow the user guide (P50) for Windows 10.
1. Connect a proper USB drive (at least 16 GB of storage).
2. Type recovery in the search box on the taskbar. Then click Create a recovery drive.
3. Click Yes in the User Account Control window to allow the Recovery Media Creator program to start.
4. In the Recovery Drive window, follow the on-screen instructions to create a recovery USB drive.
