Using Backup and Restore to transfer drupal configurations but not actual data I am trying to use backup and restore to transfer configurations in drupal, but not the actual data. The backup and restore module allows you to do a backup where you exclude data from certain tables. My question is does restoring have a similar option where you don't wipe all the data and just make changes without wiping all the data?

For example, on our staging instance we added a new field to the User Account called field_phone_number. Can I create a backup with the new field configuration on User Account and then "restore" this backup on our production instance without transferring actual user records? 

Preferably, I would like to do this via drush so we can implement into our CI/CD process.
For drupal 7 the best way to transfer Drupal configurations but not actual data is to use Features module.
You can create features from your staging env.
and then revert them in production.
