I'm not sure I understand backups with Clonezilla. Will Clonezilla erase the destination (backup) disk as it creates a backup or will all the previously saved files be preserved on the backup disk?

Yes.
Clonezilla can operate in various modes. One of the modes is physical disk to image, which will write an image to a filesystem, without destroying anything present in the filesystem.
Other modes includes device to device, which will destroy the destinations content.

1Agreed. I routinely use Clonezilla in this mode to send images to a directory on my file server. Other files in the directory are unaffected. – Organic Marble Nov 02 '19 at 22:59

@vidarlo: Is the "physical disk to image" mode the one discribed in here- https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/01_Save_disk_image – BlueSkies Nov 02 '19 at 23:58
