It depends. You can restore the bookmarks in Chrome from the backup if you haven't deleted the local file that saves your bookmarks and browsing history. You need to close your Chrome and do as follows:

Go to: C:/Users/UserName/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data. Change the UserName with your Windows user account.
Type Bookmarks in the search bar. The bookmark files are often named "Bookmarks" and "Bookmarks.bak".
Move the Bookmarks file to a different location.
You need to rename the Bookmarks.bak file to Bookmarks.

Now, you can reopen Chrome and see your bookmarks restored from backup. However, this method works only when your local files still exist. Suppose you have deleted the local files from your PC, as you said, format. You need to use data recovery software like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard.
