CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

My org is running Civi with a bunch of different membership types, contrib types, event types, payment processors, custom data, profiles, groups, tags, you name it. They want to be able to take all of this and essentially give this custom install to other affiliates to use. But the catch is they don't want any of the contacts or contact-related info in it. I'm concerned this might get complicated to do a db dump that includes all these customization yet no contact (or membership, activity, contrib, etc) information whatsoever. Is all of this type of info stored in only a  few tables? Would I just exclude data dumps from specific tables? I'm concerned about FKs and anything else like this that could eventually lead to database corruption because I removed certain data that I shouldn't have.

thanks much.
