Difference Between "Backup" and "Clone" functions ?

Thread needs solution

Greetings,

What is the actual difference between "Backup" (top selection in left panel of main window of ATI) and "Clone Disc" under "Tools" selection (3rd selection in left panel of main window) ?

Thanks,

Rick

Clone is a bit for bit copy of an entire disk.

Backup can be an entire disk, a sector by sector disk image, partition(s), or folder(s) file(s) image where the result is a compressed single file.

I did a backup of the entire computer (I have a SS "drive") ...... if I use the file to replace a failed system, will I be a able to boot as is ?? And how will the file be decompressed ? Thanks
