Using BING, the backup drive is containing several partition clones of the

You are the most thick-headed person I've seen in these groups in
ages.

I did NOT restrict "clone" to "source drive". I clearly included
"source partition".

Either way... the clone is a duplicate of the source, whether it be a
drive or a partition.
