Morning All,I have a database, with a filegroup that is 2TB of documents (blob data).I frequently have restore this database elsewhere, for various reasons that are mostly sub-optimal, but unfortunately for the moment there is no getting around that. I am somewhat stuck with an 'architect' who is stuck in his ways. I digress.Out of this database I really only need 300GB of data.Is there a way to backup the file groups excluding the document one, and replace the missing documents one with an empty/trimmed/static version I keep for this purpose?So ultimately, I want to restore the filegroups I want, and a replacement one, and bring it all online... When I write it like that, it sounds a really rather silly ask and I think I might know the answer ;) But I am asking any way in case there is some magic trick I Am missing.Cheers All,Alex
