Re: [ovirt-users] reinstall hosted-engine with ovirt 3.5?
IIUC what you wrote, then there is backup available inside

Get the backup files from "old" engine VM, do fresh install
with ovirt engine appliance and restore DB.

is there a mechanism to import the appliance image into the hosted engine?
I am not sure how I would do this since I have no live access to my engine
DB.

You can give a try to ovirt engine appliance and then restore
from backup ;)
