I'll just echo the others who have responded here. I would recommend you clone as often as you can. That being said, since you're cloning from the production backup, you typically have to freeze development for at least a day in order to clone. That can be pretty difficult for some organizations, but you definitely want to clone before any major development efforts.

Like stated above, I always clone before starting any significant development work and about every month, just to stay in sync.
