Harry and Quirrell are partial backups of Voldemort

I can see how Harry is a partial backup, as he doesn't have all the memories of Voldemort.

But why consider Quirrell a partial backup? I always thought of him as the fully transferred Voldemort, with Voldemort going through time from one host to the next.

If the process is lossy, the degree of drift might depend on the degree to which the resulting persona identifies with the original's values.
