Description of my issue:

Good morning from Thailand,
Is it possible to make a backup of Virtuemart only, so that I can use it in a new Joomla template? If yes how.

Kind regards, La-ong

Hello,

technically it's possible to backup and restore only VirtueMart data if they do not write anything in Joomla assets table (the table that holds all Joomla permissions).
Since you can't be 100% sure that they're not doing that (nor they won't start doing that in the future), my suggestion is to do the opposite: create a new blank Joomla site, install and configure Virtuemart, then backup the whole site.
When you have to create a new site, you can simply restore that backup and then start to customize the template.
