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.
