Can a backup be used twice?

[darkvoid]

Rooted my wildfire s and created a backup recovery using clockworkmod. I used that recovery to revert back to stock rom from custom rom and im thinkng , whether I can use that backup again if my phone gets soft bricked or do i have to make a new one?

P.S Yes , a noob question.

You can use the backup over and over, as long as it's on the same model. Nothing happens to the backup files once you use them, it's not like a firecracker where you use it once, it blows up and it's gone.
