I have a number of workflows that are very similar except for the rules associated with each.

Instead of recreating is there a way for me to clone the workflow and rename it?

Not that I know of. Changing to a feature request.

You can use Feeds to export a Workflow, change the data in the features.inc file, and upload it again.

In Workflow 2 (as workflows can now be implemented as fields), you could use the Field Tools module to clone your workflow field.

Edit: "Feeds" is mentioned in the above comment, but it should be read as Features.

I doubt that: the workflow is not part of the Field: The field only refers to the workflow. There is no change in behaviour of workflows between version 1.x and 2.x.

You migth create a feature, rename the workflow (and the feature?) and upload it again. Perhaps you may disable Features afterwards, but haven't tested it.

Slowly all feature requests fall in place....
Workflow was already a 'true' Entity. Now I used the EntitiyUIController for the Admin interface, and making the entity Exportable generates more operations, amongst others a 'clone' operation with few custom code!
See the 'related issues'.

This in included in 7.x-2.2+dev or 7.x-2.3
