Yeah clonepi can clone your actual boot drive, regardless of what medium it is. It is actually quite a nifty piece of program that it can clone your boot and root partition to any drive you wish, even the ones that already have data on them, without causing any harm. It creates two new partitions or it writes to the partitions you already created.

However, what you intend to do seems to be much easier than this if i understood it correctly.
Read my earlier comment or download a HAOS image, analyze it and see for yourself that all Pi-this and Pi-that tools are useless here. HAOS has nothing to do with RaspberryPi, except that it runs also on an ARM board branded 'RaspberryPi'. You need general Linux here and the decades old 'dd'

Code:

dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/user/bruteforceimagecopy.img
You also backup all empty space/rubbish and cannot be done online and needs extra computer or extra OS just for manual backup.

The same is more or less true for RPiOS, that is why we have all those Pi-this and Pi-that image and backup tools. And then still, backup can fail for databases what HAOS is as it in non-atomic.
