Empty a Database SQL 2000

Hello,
Is there a way to export a database and delete the contents of it as
it creates the backup - leaving the database intact but devoid of
data?
Thanks,
TmuldHi,
You could create SP which uses BACKUP and TRUNCATE TABLE statement, I
guess. Is it something you want, or is there another constraint?
