Issue type

[X] Feature request
[ ] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Similar to #33 and #1849, it would be nice to have the ability to clone an entire site. For instances where the same IP/hardware exists for a site (in my case a mobile rack), it would be super handy to be able to duplicate that configuration as many times as necessary.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Mar 29, 2018):

I don't think this is feasible to implement. You would have to contend with automatically renaming and renumbering myriad objects: racks, devices, prefixes, VLANs, IPs, circuits, etc. A non-trivial amount of additional logic is needed in the form of a renaming/renumbering policy, which NetBox cannot provide on its own. It would be much more practical to script out your own unique logic for replicating a site using either the REST API or local ORM.

Agreed. I wrote something a bit back to help with nuke and pave of any instance since i didn’t see that out there and the structure of the data wouldnt allow this easily.
