waht is database cloning

What is the jargon ‘database cloning’ all about.How can I achive this for all my dbs on a server.

Cloning is nothing but taking the characteristics from one element and apply it to another.
In this case you can use BACKUP/RESTORE methodology to accomplish the task, there is no such process or event in SQL Server to achieve this, may be third party tools will have the task. Satya SKJ

I am wondering what are the difference between ‘moving all dbs from one server to another’ and ‘cloning’

Moving the databases is nothing but cleaning up everything on source computer and the cloning refers to take a copy from source and apply to the target. Satya SKJ

Cloning is to make Identical copy of a existing Database.For Instance,you have Database A and when you create Database B as Identical copy of Database A.Then B is Called as a Clone of A. I guess this is clear to you
