Hi @alesventus,

There are few points to be considered before migrating from One metastore to another. We need to see how the catalogs, schemas and tables are created as of now.

If you have created everything has managed like managed catalog, schema and table everything will remain in your unitycatalogs folder that you have highlighted. You can recreate the metastore with the same ADLS container after you have migrated.

If the schemas and tables are created as external. The path(s) will be pointed one-to-one in your ADLS location, so you can recreate the schema with the same locations pointed earlier.

But there are few points to be considered when it comes to managed tables, if you are deleting a metastore:
