Hi Jeremy,
                   I think you must have run the engine-setup before the restore, the restore is designed to restore to a clean install or the previous install with the same credentials. If you delete the postgresql config you can then install with your postgres credentials.

e.g.
systemctl stop rh-postgresql10-postgresql.service
rm -rf /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql10/lib/pgsql/data/*

regards,
                Paul S.

I did get a little further. 

First I ran engine-cleanup on my new engine where I will be running the restore operation. (I had previously run the engine-setup script on this machine) 

Then I ran this-

[root@engine ~]# engine-backup --mode=restore --file=ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup --log=ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log --provision-db --provision-dwh-db --restore-permissions
Start of engine-backup with mode 'restore'
scope: all
archive file: ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup
log file: ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log
Preparing to restore:
- Unpacking file 'ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup'
Restoring:
- Files
Provisioning PostgreSQL users/databases:
- user 'engine', database 'engine'
FATAL: Existing database 'engine' or user 'engine' found and temporary ones created - Please clean up everything and try again

Time to research further for that FATAL error message.  Isn't that the purpose of engine-cleanup though?  Why the conflict?

Try looking at the RHEV info here and go to section 6.2.2 and see if that helps.

OK, I was able to get the backup completed.  I am a little confused on how to do the restore though.  https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Backing_up_and_Restoring_an_EL-Based_Self-Hosted_Environment.html

Is this link even applicable?  My environment is a single node, not EL based.  Anyhow, here is what I have so far-

[root@engine glusterfs]# engine-backup
Start of engine-backup with mode 'backup'
scope: all
archive file: /var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup
log file: /var/log/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log
Backing up:
Notifying engine
- Files
- Engine database 'engine'
- DWH database 'ovirt_engine_history'
Packing into file '/var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup'
Notifying engine
Done.
[root@engine glusterfs]#

I moved the backup file to my new engine.
How do I perform the restore?

The directions say:

# engine-backup --mode=restore --file=file_name --log=log_file_name --provision-db --provision-dwh-db --restore-permissions

What is the file name and log_file name?  Do I need to do something to unpack my backup file?

Can you take a backup  of the original, build the new one, then do a restore?
