Just for complete system backups, and only considering that, I wonder

What does "restoring a backup disk-to-disk clone" mean?

One doesn't [normally] clone a drive to use it as a restoration
source, but to use it either in another computer or to use it in the
current computer as a backup to the system drive (as I have it) or
when one wants to copy everything from a smaller drive or a larger
drive for use in the same computer.

I was under the (perhaps false) impression that Anna's Casper program
could do that too.

You didn't answer the question: What does "restoring a backup
disk-to-disk clone" mean?

Are you saying it can't be done?

It's slang for transferring what's on the clone back to the source drive.
Get it?
