Hello, kmann.
So, first I should note that different vendors define things somewhat differently. They're not that far off from one another, but in the extreme ends, it's really easy to get lost in the terminology from one vendor to the next.
Based on that, I felt I should do a little research from the good people of Acronis, and found that they had a pretty extensive knowledge base (kb).
Here's the closest thing I could find in answer to your question:
kb.acronis.com/.../1540
So, in short, Cloning IS Copying, and a 'clone' is a copy by their definition. They do however distinguish between a clone, and a backup. (as explained by this article)
I hope that answers your question.
Have a great rest of the day!
