Unfortunately no, there is no way to do an Export that will retain the vendors
and customers but not transactions.  Your best bet is to just copy the data
file (for archival purposes) and then zero out your Income and Expense
accounts.

The only drawback is that it increases the size of your data file..  
But this is
the method I've used.
