I think Daniel's saying that this technology creates an active-passive set of servers. The "clone" is a passive standby or replica server of the live/active server.
When activating a replica or standby server there may not be a "restore" task in the process - it might simply be an "activation" task to bring the replica online or make it the active copy. Not sure if that's exactly what Daniel meant, but that's the general vibe I was getting.

If there's no restore then why are you bothering cloning? -- Ben
