It depends on how your flash drive reports itself to the PC, some of them report as removable disk drives, others as removable media.

The drive does show up in windows Explorer?

It see it as removable storage . I meant it doesn't see the drive within Acronis where you select the location where you want the backup to go

I have ATIH Plus Pack installed on two 16-GB Flash Drives, and do daily backups of my small "D" partition (I switch between the two Flash Drives), and it works very well. I format the Flash Drives with Diskpart and use the NTFS format - to allow over 2GB files.

If you just want to do a backup to a Flash Drive, you can also do that as well - I would recommend formatting the drive with NTFS format.

If you can not see the Flash Drive, you may need to initialize it.
