CP/M to DOS conversion programs

Are there any PC (DOS) programs that can

1) Read a CP/M disk
2) Save the contents, including the boot tracks to a DOS file (or files)
3) Format a CP/M disk
4) Write these files back to the disk, including the boot tracks?

I know there are programs that can do this for just the program and data
files but what about the boot part of the disk. Seems that info could be
saved to a file so that a bootable disk could be restored. What I'm basically
looking for is a program that can backup a CP/M disk (including boot
records) and later restore them to a CP/M disk that would still be bootable.

I have looked at 22Disk but don't see where it can essentially copy and save
a bootable CP/M disk. I have heard about SmartDisk and Media Master but
don't know if they can handle bootable disks so that they can be backed up
and restored to and from a PC (DOS).

Anyone know?

Thanks,
