    Would someone PLEASE develop a Wordpress Backup/import/export tool?

    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)

          This might be a good start. Maybe some one can mod it

              WP has backup plugins.. several of them, most are for the DB though.

              When I upgrade WP, I setup a duplicate of my db, change the config, upload my skins, plugins, ect.. every setting is moved over without question, I then set it active. Takes less than 10 minutes.

                  Yes - there are several that does SOME of it, but now a complete backup/restore of what you need, and across the platform.

                  I want a tool that take whats on the server, and DL the files to my local folder, and make a complete dump of the databare.

                  It should also copy the serversettings(and folder settings), so you can migrate it to a new server, with different paths, just by telling it the new path when uploading to the new server

                          What you are suggesting there I usually do within Directadmin. Most control panels should be able to do it?

                              I need a tool that people (like me) who cant code one single line, can install, type in the serverdata, and the use to make save reliable backups and move their blog safely from one server to the other, not having to worry about what version the blog is running (to a extend of course)
