Both methods are valid operation but will have different results. However, only a clone guarantees that both data sets AND their associated index informations are exactly the same.

Also do not forget, that you do not need the client online if you clone, so it will not disturb your client operation.

Also do not forget that if you need extra copies of your backup, you can clone the clones. This will run faster than cloning the backup savesets again.
