Hi there,

Not sure how that would be done through vmd. However what you can do is
write the the complete PDB file of the structure. Then use a simple script
(python/shell) to parse the PDB file and copy the backbone atoms of the
residue of interest and all atoms from other residues.

Hope this helps.

Best,
