Migrating a multisite network subsite to another multisite network using Duplicator Pro is a straightforward two-step process.

First, create a backup of the subsite in the source multisite network. Then, import that backup into the target multisite installation. Follow the steps below to complete this migration efficiently:

Create a backup

Begin with creating a backup from your Duplicator Pro Dashboard.

1. Navigate to Duplicator Pro » Backups. Then, to create a new backup, click on the Add New button to get started:
   
2. Enter a Backup Name Format for your backup:
3. Under Backup » Multisite, only keep the single subsite you need to migrate in “Included Sub-Sites” and move the rest of the sub-sites to “Excluded Sub-Site“.
4. Navigate to the bottom of the page and click on Next. This will initiate the scan and validate the results. After the scan is completed, proceed by clicking on Build.
5. This will only create a backup of the Included Subsite (the selected subsite). You can now download its archive file by clicking the Download button:

Import the backup

1. On the destination Multisite, go to Duplicator Pro » Import Backups, and upload the backup you created earlier.
2. After the archive file is uploaded, click the Continue button to start the installation
3. In Step 2 of 2: Confirmation, Click the button Launch Installer to proceed with the installation
4. In Import-Installer Step 1, Choose Import single site into multisite network radio button
5. In Source Site, select the site you want to restore from the backup.
6. In Target Site, either enter a new URL to create a new subsite within the multisite network, or select an existing subsite to overwrite.
7. Click the Validate button and check the results, then click the Next button and let the installer run.
8. When the installer is complete, Step 2 will show the status of the installation.
9. Click the Admin Login button to log in to the newly created site and validate the installation process.
