Technically speaking, you can't. Cloning or imaging can help you recover something only in a specific situation. Example: if I have a file stored on my hard drive, and I clone my hard drive information to another machine, then the next day that first computer completely dies, fortunately the file I want is now on that other machine.

Recovery however generally refers to getting something back after it has already been corrupted or failed and if your hard drive goes bad and you haven't already cloned the information you wanted, cloning will now do nothing. Even if the hard drive somehow worked enough to be imaged, you would just be imaging the same corrupted data.
