Sure, keep it around for a while until you're sure that the clone boots and works.
I used Macrium Reflect, which was recommended here, both on my laptop and my desktop, when got a new SSD last month. That was after trying Samsung's own "Data Migration" software, which refused to work - and I was cloning one Samsung SSD to another!
The SSD that went in the laptop was my old desktop SSD..so, no backup. It was a dumb thing to do but thankfully everything is working fine.
