I have created a Joomla clone site for a client who wanted a new look template. This has now been done. Since doing the work the client has added 30 articles on the existing site and I need to get them across to the clone site. Can I use akeebabackup to do this for just the articles and images associated with those articles?

Probably, but it's easier to use something like SP Transfer.
The problem is that each article is linked to a Joomla! asset through the #__assets table. So do components, plugins, modules and templates. Same for categories. Same for anything which has ACL options (not view level but the full Permissions screen). This means that if any of that has changed you cannot just transplant the #__articles and #__assets tables on the new site; that would break it. So the easiest way to do this kind of partial content transfer is using a third party extension such as SP Transfer.
