I wonder what is the most efficient and functional way to clone a Plone portal (on the same server). Both copy & paste, and export & rename & import methods in ZMI don’t work.

Generally we find the easiest way is to do a .zexp export and then a .zexp import. However this only works if the path of where you import the site is the same as where it was originally so works from moving between identical servers, not copying a site.
If you really really want to copy a site on the same zope instance you can’t copy it directly.
You could export the settings via portal_setup and export the content via something like collective.jsonify or something similar.
