<p> yes. You can copy files to and from the export domain. You can also just detach ir, and attach it to the installation later.</p>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I did some updates to my test installation from an unofficial repo (I<br>
had installed a compile version of qemu-kvm-rhev from a private repo).<br>
After rebooting, I was encountering errors with adding networks (when I<br>
tried to save, it would say that my already-exisiting networks were<br>
being added twice)<br>
<br>
Anyway, not sure what exactly broke, as there were some other oVirt<br>
updates as well. I was planning on just wiping my all-in-one install<br>
and starting from scratch, but I first wanted to see if it was possible<br>
to copy my Win7 VM to an external USB drive, then import it back in<br>
after I have a fresh all-in-one install?<br>
<br>
I already have an export domain and have tested exporting one of my<br>
other VMs, but am not sure if I would then be able to:<br>
<br>
1.) Copy the resulting directory to external storage<br>
2.) Do my fresh install<br>
3.) Copy the directory from external storage to my new export domain<br>
4,) Import the VM from the export domain<br>
<br>
I guess my question is, is the export domain like the ISO domain: can I<br>
copy files directly to it (with the appropriate metadata, of course) and<br>
after a few minutes, have oVirt able to automatically see the contents<br>
and be able to import it back in.<br>
<br>
Thanks! :-)<br>
