I can find tool that will migrate from a old MS Exchange 2000 to a Exchange 2007
I can even remote batch all your printer setting and drivers on your old PC and slipstream it in to your new PC during the install

But why haven't anyone made a STANDALONE tool for backing up, exporting and importing wordpress installations

Enter:
Blog A serverdata and version
Blog B serverdata and version

What you want to export:
- files
- DB
- All
- Uploads
- Settings
- Maybe even categories, if you want to split one big blog up in more then one

You then get 3 possibilities
1 - Download from old (for backup and 2-step migration)
2 - Onestop merge from old to new (migrating from olddomain.com to newdomain.com)
3 - Upload to new (for restore or second step in the 2-step migration)
