Disk Cloning is a bit for bit copy of one drive to another. In doing so, a Clone can boot and run the operating system. The data is exactly the same on both drives. Disk Imaging copies the data on the drive and stores it as a file. This file can be compressed to a smaller size to take up less space. The Image is not bootable.
