 Description   

Reference to our official documentation of backup module, backup script we can see that backup a single workspace is supported.

However there were no option (parameter) for that.

Investigate into Backup module implementation in BackupLauncher, seeing no option for that implemented.

Expected result: support customers to backup a single workspace and allow downloading of backed up folder as zip.

Workaround
Split your repository to isolate the larger workspaces. https://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/SERVICES/Optimized+Backup+with+Repository+Splitting

From my investigation on this topic is it does not make sense to back up a single workspace from a repository with multiple workspaces. Backup only makes sense at the repository level. The problem would be how to restore such a backup. The workspaces share a datastore and other configuration which would be hard to try and merge back together.

The solution is to split your repository to isolate 1 (or more) workspaces so they can be backed up separately.
