I performed some tests and confirmed that the documentation is correct. Creating a clone with backtracking enabled only works if the original cluster had backtracking enabled. Even if a cluster was originally created with backtracking turned on and then backtracking was turned off, creating a backtrack-enabled clone is blocked after that. The message is:

Backtrack cannot currently be enabled for this cluster

Backtracking requires some extra infrastructure for the cluster behind the scenes. If that infrastructure doesn't exist, either from not choosing backtracking originally or turning it off later, it can't be re-enabled either for the original cluster or a clone.

I'll close this pull request without merging.

Hello,

Sorry, I was thinking about snapshot restore.
