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?
