Couple things
- you're asking for a feature to be able to skip saving data to the db...
- yet you want to check your new installation works...
- which 'requires' saving data to the db so you can check that
- in other words - what you're asking for would prevent you doing what
Pretty sure you can boot from usb on a rpi3b

I wasn't being clear.
There is no way for preventing records being read from the hardware and so
they get lost.

I have a Pi4 with external SSD and I did exactly what Tom has suggested

I have done this every time I have had a new hardware config to ensure all

I had to reinstall weewx due to a bad system upgrade on a Raspberry Pi with

It would be nice to be able to turnoff data download
