Hi
This was mention in a previous thread but I figured that I will give it another buzz. Not sure if it is possible or not, but the option to duplicate a site off a multisite install to a standalone install would be amazing. Right now it still leaves the multisite lines in wp-config.php and it grabs the whole database not just the sites database when it copies over. It will take some mysql ninjistu to accomplish but it is probably not that bad.
Thanks for the great work on this essential plugin!

It does look like however, that if you install on a multisite deployment and then create a package from the base site, you get the whole shebang. This has great potential as a simple backup system .. now, if the package creation could be automated... ??? .. say, run from a cron job? Or scheduled right in the plugin itself..
You're definitely on to something here!
thanks,
Jim
Hey guys,
Awesome suggestions! I have definitely considered both and will probably implement them in upcoming versions. :)

Have you looked at the WP Multisite Replicator by WP ebooks? It might do what you are needing.

Thanks for the pointer to that!! It doesn't address the backup solution we are trying to implement but it a major time saver for another issue -- we run a website for a major sports team and have individual sites for their hall of fame members -- these follow a template but of course by default, lighting up a new site just gives you a raw install .. being able to carry along a theme, menus, pages and widgets cut setup time per site by 75%.
The "Add Clone Sites for WPMU (batch)" plug in worked well for me, and it's free! http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-cloned-sites-for-wpmu-batch/

So... any news on WPMS support yet?
