Hi Satish,

You can simply move the contents of the Monitoring Database (https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/463-how-and-where-does-prtg-store-its-data) to another server. Note that the data will then not be available in the graphs. Keep the data you like to report on short notice.

In case you require the data to be used for an actual report, just copy it back to the server, run the report and remove it again :)
