The 'rear' package from EPEL does exactly that.  It will make a
bootable iso/usb image with a script and the necessary tools to
recreate your partitions/filesystems, restore a backup to it, and make
it bootable.   There are some options for the details of how the
backup/restore are done.  I've only used tar to an nfs export and
rsync over ssh, but it might work directly to usb too.
