How do I back up only forum configuration information?

[CAKE_NICE]

I just want to back up some settings, but I don’t want to back up topics and comments

I want to back up the configuration information in the settings, not the threads and comments and uploads

Or I can run some command to delete all threads, uploads, etc

我想备份设置里面的那些配置信息，不备份话题和评论还有Uploads

或者说我可以执行某些命令，删除掉所有的话题、Uploads 等等

This night help. I’m giving up on finding the canonical topic Administrative Bulk Operations

NOT FOUND: existing site setting not found for b…

FEATURE: add rake task for import/export of site settings

I don’t think Dev is the best place for that and that it deserves a more formal page.
