I would like to make a copy of a work item and all of its task.
I'm using this version of the product: 11.0.50727.1 I'm using Scrum 2.0 template for the project
If this is possible, how can I do it?

From any query, you can export a list of work items as a comma-delimited list. Open the query, choose the actions icon, and choose Export to CSV. To learn more, see Bulk import or update work items using CSV files. Requires Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1 or later version.
By signing in as a member of an Azure DevOps project, you can clone private repos that are accessible to you, and public repos.
You add work items to plan and manage your project. Different types of work items track different types of work—such as user stories or product backlog items, tasks, bugs, or issues. Use work items to describe the work to be done, assign work, track status, and coordinate efforts within your team.
The work items represent the core of the Azure DevOps tracking system and can be a bug, a requirement, a general to-do, and so on. Each work item has a unique ID to keep track of its references from its creation to its implementation as a piece of executable software.
Have you tried Excel? It's your best friend when doing mass editing of work items. You can copy/paste a number of work items. by selecting all columns except the ID column. Copy them and then paste them at the bottom of the open query in Excel.
You need to ensure you're using a Tree based query and that all the columns you want to duplicate are part of the queries columns.
You might lose formatting of HTML typed fields this way though.
I'd be interested to know why you'd want to bulk copy Product Backlog items with all their tasks, from a scrum perspective I don't really see how it would make sense.
