Norman, welcome to these public User Forums.

Cloning will wipe everything on the external target drive so should not be used if you have data on that drive that you want to keep.

Backup will create a .tib or .tibx image file on the external drive alongside any other data present on the drive.

See the link in my signature for a fuller description of the differences between Backup & Cloning.
