Restoring a snapshot of "settings only" brings other data with it


Forum|alt.badge.img+5

I created a snapshot using the option of “Settings Only”

I created a new tenant.

Imported the snapshot and restored it.

I have stock items in my new tenant.  I was expecting to only see the settings in the new tenant, not data.

Any thoughts?

The Setting Only Snapshot also includes items as it considers them as settings. You would need to create your own custom snapshot configs and exclude the item tables from it 

The help pages should help

I just did the same thing today and got the same result. I was hoping there was an answer in this post. My “Settings Only” restore brought in Chart of Accounts, Users, etc...

The best way to determine what data is copied is to export the snapshot as XML, extract the ZIP and review the individual XML files.  There is also information about what is included in each snapshot type in help.

This is unbelievable frustrating. Who is making these decisions at Acumatica? How are stock items considered “Settings” makes literally 0 sense.

I cannot believe it was developed this way….Just astounding. 

I can’t even figure out how to exclude Stock, BOMS, and Configured items.
