Copy-paste of selected nodes, makes a copy of everything connected to selected
nodes, including hidden connections to layers, Node Editor bookmarks, so on.
''Safe way'' could be saving a copy of scene, deleting everything else
(including layers and such), copying back to original scene. Fortunately Maya
could copy entire rig or elements from scene o scene.Duplicate in Node Editor
makes a duplicate of only selected nodes, but leaves them unconnected.As
alternative, it worth to try 'duplicate special' (from edit menu) with some of
available options, while this, by default, makes a copy of all hierarchy bellow.
IMO scripting for such tasks is usable if someone wants to follow some exact
tutorial or example, or someone is able to visualize complete rig without even
using Maya - but not really for experimenting and expecting the 3d app to help
in this process. Perhaps that addiction to scripting could explain why almost
all Maya rigs are not inventive, not original copy of actual crap from Pixar or
so. Individuality is not allowed in Maya world....

Subject: Re: Set Driven Key Copy/Paste in Maya
Thanks.I decided to redo it with the Node editor.. Thinking it might
work a bit like ICE. However, after completing one leg, I discovered that you
can’t just copy and paste that stuff either as it makes all kinds of new stuff
in the scene. What a mess. I just don’t understand how Maya works at all. I’m
not going to make a scripted rigging pipeline, its not my thing. I like being
able to invent/experiment on the fly. I don’t think I’m going to last long with
Maya at this rate.
