Hi,
In this case, you can save the site as template without content.
$WebURL = "http://your-site-collection-URL"

#Get the Web Object
$Web= Get-SPWeb $WebURL

#Variables for Save site as template settings
$TemplateName ="Site Template"
$TemplateTitle ="Project Site Template"
$TemplateDescription ="Site template for project management portal"

#Option to Save with content
$SaveWithContent= 1  #0 otherwise

#Save site as template programmatically with PowerShell
$Web.SaveAsTemplate($TemplateName,$TemplateTitle,$TemplateDescription,$SaveWithContent)

Hi Tapan,

On-Prem
Central Admin-->Backup and Restore --> Perform Site Collection backup
It will show the sitecollection list select of your own choice which needs to be backup and choose the path of the backup file in the filename window and click start backup.
Granular Backup Job Status page in the Readiness section. You can view the status for the current backup job in the lower part of the page in the Site Collection Backup section.
