[X4U] Backing up with Disk Utility

It lead me to think that you could possibly clone a partition (like CCC) 
rather than having to create an image first.

Not true. Out of the box, CCC makes bootable clones of any volume to
another volume (except the boot volume can't be the target). The ability 
to
choose to make a disk image is just an option, not a requirement.
