How to exclude cmdb data when cloning?

[tee3]

Hi,

Before we begin the process of an upgrade, we would like to clone our PROD instance to our DEV and I'm wondering if anyone knows how can we effectively exclude cmdb data from copying over. The last time we did this, we excluded "cmdb*" and we still ended up with data from PROD in DEV. I'm familiar with the Exclude Tables and Data Preservers but I'm not sure if I need to exclude all extended tables or the wildcard would work.

Appreciate your help!

Thank you for the article link, I have read through that but some community posts mentioned wildcards and that clearly didn't work for us. Have you ever had to do this and been successful?

Yes, i excluded all child (extended) cmdb_ci tables to achieve this.
