. . . . and now you IDIOT (me) . . . . back up the certificates too!

i don't remember the exact process of the top of my head, but it should be either: 1. restore db, then install ovirt (exact same version by=20 re-using the db. 2. install ovirt, restore the db over it, and fix some config entries to correctly map the new certificates.
