I want to take a backup of my existing site and restore it on a different Sharepoint server. I know its easily possible through stsadm backup restore. But I dont want the content of my lists to appear in the restored sites. Is there any way to achieve this using backup or export command????

You can create a site template and choose NOT to include content.

Site Actions > Site Settings > Look and Feel > Save site as Template

See this guide

  • Yeah i know this can be achieved through site template but it does not preserve the people and groups and permissions. Besided what i want to is that I want content of 7 lists to appear and content of 56 lists not to appear in the restored site. – Abhishek Rao Jun 04 '10 at 07:31
