Maybe I’m missing something, but here’s a thought that occurred to me while fiddling with my import scripts: wouldn’t it be nice if we had a backup feature that deals **only** with the site’s settings, but **not** the contents (posts, categories, uploads etc. should be left out)? This would be a) somewhat reassuring if you had a staff of more than one who are allowed in the admin section. Plus b) it would ease my (admittedly somehow unstructured 😊) import efforts, since I run an import (lengthy operation), leave it online for a while for my team to explore, change some things in the admin settings while it’s there, and then before my next importer run, when I want to revert to my pre-flight backup with only the basic settings, I’m pulling my hair trying to figure out which settings to write down in order not to lose them… --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/backup-site-settings-only-without-any-user-content/21513)._
