i'm just starting with remapping and first would like to have a cloned ecu as a back up in case i mess up, can i use any edc15p to clone, thanks.

There cheap enough to find one with hw numbers the same then read your e2p and flash epproms
Your do very well to brake a edc15p ecu unless u desolder epproms and damage tracks any failure in flashing them ecus they are easy to bootmode and recovering just make sure u back up for if any thing goes wrong

thanks i have read that they are almost impossible to permanently brick i just want to have a spare so i can easily swap it out if i have a problem, i've got vag commander to read the eprom.

Read safely with the external programmer eeprom contents (24C02, etc) and save the external programmer eeprom to another ECU

I've cloned my edc15p ecu to a ecu with a similar part number from a different car. Only the letter coding differed, the numbers are the same. I used vag commander for the eeprom data, and mpps for the flash data. Haven't tried the ecu in my car yet, but it works with vag com as expected in my bench :)
