Description
Hi
Considering a NC instance, containing 14TB of data which already has a separate data backup strategy, would there be any possible way to use the Backup app for the instance only (what you call partial, config, apps, db...) but not any of the data itself ? Could this be available in the configuration page of the app, allowing the user to choose whether he wants to include the data itself in the backup scope or not ?

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests. Start by tracing the Backup app's configuration page and its handling of partial backups covering configuration, apps, and the database, then determine where user data is included in the scope. Done means users can choose to exclude data while retaining the other selected backup components, with the behavior verified in the relevant backup workflow.
