With Clonebox, we keep four copies of your server, avoiding the danger that your
site will be backed up right AFTER it gets hacked and you'd have two copies of
crap, which is what you'd get with most backup solutions. Since 99% of the time
all you need is disk space, you don't pay for processors, RAM, etc. when you're
not using it. Instead, your clone server is booted on one of our processing units only
when needed, saving you money.

I think I finally get this. You use a pool of dedicated servers and only press one into use when it's needed by a client. Or is it a VPS solution??

What's the process for backing up, is it like an rsync commandline or does it need a dedicated client?
