Am I correct in the assumption that importing a previously master

into a fresh engine without a current master domain is supported?
It's supported only in case the master domain was previously correctly
detached from the data center.
In case of an unexpected complete disaster, when a fresh engine is
installed and used, it's still possible to recover the master domain in
theory. You must find `metadata' file in the master domain and edit it
for the new engine. It's completely unsupported and it may or may not
work. We don't have guidelines how to do it, but you may try to create
a new master domain, then detach it and compare the two metadata files.
