With sagenb there is a way to click a button and download all
notebooks in a single zip file, which can then be uploaded to another
sagenb.

Does Jupyter have a way to do that?  I'm pretty sure it has nothing at
all like that, since with Jupyter it might be *drastically* more
difficult to migrate from one VM to a newer one.    I.e., from the VM
for 7.0 to 7.1.

Unfortunately, 1 may be a much worse problem going forward.  I don't know.
