I'm not sure this is worthwhile for Plugin Manager to do. There are modules like http://drupal.org/project/backup_migrate and http://drupal.org/project/demo which do this already.

If this feature is added to Plugin Manager, it should probably be done via a dependency on one of those modules and then using a function in those modules to do the actual work.
