Typically a new release of a product does delete the prior releases. If you are careful to update all DDDEF entries in the new target and dlib zones to point to the new target and dlib data sets, then you should be safe from accidentally deleting the existing FMID in the existing data sets. But if you are concerned then don't clone the existing target and dlib zones and libraries; just create new, which should be about the same amount of work as cloning, and the new product release I suspect supplies sample jobs to do exactly that.
