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?

You might be the only person here who would clone a disk - rather than
image it - so that the cloned disk would be available for restoring.

Buh-bye bucko.
