Russell was right way back in May 2019! It's March 2022 and I was just on with support trying to figure out how to do this. I imagined the option being in the popup when you go to clone a site. After you select Clone site, select server, you see "create as staging" checkbox, WHAT if to the right of that was a checkbox for "Create from Backup". After checked it shows you a dropdown where you can select one of your on server cloudways backups.
Advice from support was to make a current backup, rollback site to previous old backup, clone site, then roll back to current back up. Meanwhile this is a LIVE site. Users will be confused staring at an old site for about 15min while I hurry and get the site back to normal. Less than Ideal as has been stated by others here. I'd give this 1000 votes if I could! ha.
Since I can't upload a screenshot of my idea....
SELECT SERVER
---------------------------------------------------------------
O create as staging | O Create from backup
