Hello

I'd like to use this module to make clones of my drupal settings. I don't want it to backup my content/comments data nor my users, etc... I just want it to copy the settings of my modules and drupal settings so that the next drupal site I set up has the same modules and settings. Which database/data should I exclude to do this?

Thanks!

Unfortunately this is a complex issue which goes beyond the scope of this module. The long answer depends on what you consider settings and what you consider content, but the short answer is much simpler: Do not exclude any Drupal tables as the interconnections between tables is to complex to safely break.

The safest way to do what you want to do is to duplicate the database, and use the Drupal admin screens to manually delete all the nodes, users and other content you want to exclude. Then export that cleaned up database and save that for future use.

Hope this helps
Ronan
