Hi, I need to reinstall operation system for my computer installed splunk enterprise recently, and I want to backup the old data, then import it into the new reinstalled system, what should I do? Is there any tutorial?

Back up the computer the same way you would for any other OS upgrade.  Be sure to stop Splunk first so the hot buckets are closed.
