 Welcome to Trac, @davelo!

 I feel like I have seen a ticket for this in the past, but I am currently
 unable to locate one.

 Thinking this through, I am inclined to close this out as "plugin
 territory". There are a lot of different ways to approach site backups and
 restores (at the host level, offsite backups, etc.), and I think it could
 be difficult for Core to keep up. There are many different hosts and
 plugins in the directory that handle backups, and many do a very good job.

 As this would be a large feature, it would definitely need to be
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/about/release-cycle/features-as-
 plugins/ worked on as a feature plugin] before proposing a Core merge.

 This feature would also fall outside of the current priorities for the
 project, so the likelihood of this being considered within the next ~12-18
 months is very low.

 I'm marking with a `close` suggestion with the `maybelater` resolution,
 but leaving it open for more thoughts and feedback.
