No. xxcopy /clone will perform step 1 but will ignore any files that are 
open or locked. Typically, these are the registry files (which are copied 
in step 2). With the exception of the boot.ini in step 3, none of the 
other steps will be performed by xxcopy /clone. This is the reason why 
xxclone was written ;)
