3 years ago I ran the same command sudo ./rpi-clone sda
on a RaspberryPI 4B (4G) running Ubuntu 20.04.3 64-Bit Server LTS
and it worked flawlessly.
Here is the log from the clone
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/rpi-clone$ sudo ./rpi-clone sda

For some reason "sudo rpi-clone sda" from booted SDcard to USB Adapter/SDcard was not resulting in a bootable backup SDcard.
RaspberryPi 3B+ Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit Server LTS
Work-around found: 1) Flash backup card with Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit LTS Server 2) Boot w/o the target card inserted, then insert the target card 3) $sudo rpi-clone sda
