  Would it make sense to include features that would facilitate native/regular backup, fully export the site and import same, clone, etc., within the WordPress codebase?

  Hi @forrie, WordPress core doesn’t support that — likely because you’d need multiple hosts to do it well. But Jetpack does have a paid feature that includes cloud backups much like what you’re describing:

  Jetpack Backup

  There are also free plugins you can use to manually make backups / migrate sites /etc, and some paid plans on our services have Jetpack Rewind capabilities:

  Does that help? Also, for what it’s worth, these forums are for the free sites hosted by WordPress.com — here’s the difference: https://get.wp.com .

  For thoughts about WordPress core software, I’d recommend heading to https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ — or you might also check out the https://make.wordpress.org to see what the WordPress core team is up to.
