Hello, we have a 3 stage sharepoint environment. In production we have a 200GB site which i need to copy to the development environment for developing purpose. But i dont want to copy the content, too. I need the complete site structure (several hundred subsites) but without the content. Is this possible? Best regards, Yavuz B.

Hi Yavuz, in the address bar type http://sitename/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx which will give you option to Save site as a Template. do not check "Include Content" check box which will just save the site as a template without any content This will save the site in .stp format and you will get the template under Site Action > Site settings > Site Template Gallery and using this template you can create number of same sites.Warm Regards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/
