Trying to do the exact same thing.. did you ever get an answer?

That may be worth it for me… my plan is to offer WP powered sites to a specific group of people and have many templates and various levels of service… so when someone signs up and chooses the theme and services they want I want to be able to just clone teh existing sample of that site and set-them up.. will same A LOT of time and repitition if there is a way to do that as opposed to having to set each new site up myself.

Thanks,
Steve

Not sure if my question was understood… it cloning tool idea seems like it is to take an installation of WP and clon eit to a new server/database… I want to have it under the WP multisite installation…

How would one go about restoring a back-up with the blog ID changed?

OKay.. so I have many sites on a shared hosting account each in their own directory.. several are running wordpress installations… today a majority of thise sites got hit with this hack. I am in the procerss of upgrading all to 2.8.4 and removing the index.php files that has the code in it from each affected directory.

Interesting thing is that many directories that do not have wordpress installed got this index.php file added to them also.

Anyway I need to know in laymans terms what else I need to do to make sure these are secure. Can someone please spell it out so that the ones that are already affected can be made safe.

Thank you,
