Cloning a computer means you have one computer and want to copy "everything" to another. This can mean different things and can have different reasons.
Reasons
- You want to have a stand-in computer in case your "pet computer" decides to go on vacation (it breaks for whatever reason). For this, a virtual machine is not enough. It is sufficient to copy every file from computer A to computer B.
- You want to virtualize your computer. In this case you will have to dump every byte from your source (physical) to your target (virtual) computer.
