No, it's not correct. A backup is any kind of file that lets you restore
some or all of what used to be on a drive to the way it was. It could be
compressed, but it also could not.
A clone is simply a particular kind of backup--one that is an exact,
byte-for-byte copy of the entire drive.. If the original drive dies and you
have a clone of it on another hard drive, you can plug the clone in in
place of the original and it should work just as the original did.
