This should work for you unless someone else disagrees 1. Just take a backup of the the databases that you need. Store this on an external drive. 2. Restore your machine. 3. Manually recreate the databases. I think you will have to keep the same name as before. At this point you will not have any content in the databases 4. Restore the daatabase that you created in step 1 from the backup. Best Regards, Kashif Khan Sr. Solutions Architect Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Orlando, FL Office: (407) 345-3420 Cell: (407) 949-4697

I need to format my machine but I don’t want to lose any of the content or configuration of MarkLogic(such as database, forest, pipelines configuration etc.,)of my machine.
