And here’s @CCP_Falcon (yea sorry mate I am still at this, 2009 called and said they want their disputes back) [on reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/3vpw3m/lore_activated_clone_without_death/cxq6nkr/), emphasis mine:

"[T]here is soft cloning, of course. **Backups taken via a non-destructive method** that’s way slower, meaning a capsuleer has to spend 2-4 hours in a clinic being “backed up”. Upon death outside the capsule, this backup can be used, however there’s memory loss from the time the backup occurs up until the point of death.

**The cost is incredibly prohibitive, even for most average capsuleers.** You need to be very wealthy in order to be able to afford it. **Outside of Capsuleers, it’s utilized by Heads of State** , very important political figures and the insanely rich to safeguard themselves.""
