Hi Julie

Multisite functionality with BackupBuddy is in beta so is not officially supported and although you may use it you are not advised to do so on any mission-critical site or on any production (live) site that you do not have the technical knowledge or ability to troubleshoot and fix if any unusual issues occur - you can find additional information here: BackupBuddy Multisite - IThemes Codex

In particular (and specific to your question) BackupBuddy Multisite beta capability does not support exporting the main site for subsequent import to duplicate the site.

I hope this provides the information that you need but if you require any further clarification please let us know, thanks.

Regards...jeremy

It does not let me use the root www.groupeespaces.ca as the source blog to copy from.
Can backup buddy do this ?
