Export/Import

Sorry, I don't want to rely on your backup processes only.
There won't be any import or export most likely due to copyright and intellectual property problems that come with the ability to import and export maps. 
I am content to have an opaque format.  Again, my goal/requirement is to not have to rely on your backup processes only.

It should be possible to do this in the API once it can create more objects, but I can't see the point tbh so i wouldnt make a script to do it.

What would be nice is to be able to import/export things like tables, card decks, etc from one of your existing campaigns to another one of your existing campaigns at the very least.  It would be even nicer to be able to share your tables, decks, etc. with others easily so they don't have to reinvent the wheel.  There could be potentially copyright material in a table or deck in the form of the graphics for them I guess.  You could make it so no graphics come over?  At least most of the hard work of lots of tables would be only done once and then you would have to find all the graphics.
With the ability to export/import (more the import) someone can make a character generator coded to work with the roll20 format to make a character to easily import with macros and attributes set. My GM in one of my games wants to do that for the system he's making and I'm playtesting, heck he is even thinking of marketing the system with and on roll20. There'd be no issues if the system is designed by the creator to work with the application.

Once we are able to create tables and card decks i may sit down and make an export function for them, we will have to wait and see.
