Usually I deploy the backup during the HostedEngine creation.
Have you tried that approach ?

Hey All, I really dont like spamming the forums but the issues I am having keep changing entirely.
I am at the point where I can get much closer to rebuilding my engine although my hurtle currently is restoring.

When I restore using my most recent backup it is problematic

Currently I am restoring by:
clean engine install
engine-cleanup
engine-backup --mode=restore --file=ovirt-engine-backup-20220504011012.backup  --log=restore5.log
engine-setup

Comes up with alot of annoyances as the ID of the old hosted_storage and the new one are mismatched in the GUI.
On top of that it is not allowing me to deploy the engine to the 2nd Gluster (3rd one keeps deleting its glusters on reboot since 4.3 Upgrade).

Host 1 which runs the hosted engine is not showing as active or unlike, rather it is unresponsive, when I tried to enroll certificates it finally accepted but failed because it said its missing networks, once added it crashed the engine and ha agent wouldnt come up. Now that I think of it, I could have removed the extra networks from being required although it still doesnt benefit me here as I am unable to deploy or reinstall the 2nd Gluster node and the first one will not show its correct state as the host.

Should I just be deploying the DB, or is the full file backup fine? My issue here is it takes long to redeploy so the trial an error of failing takes me hours as my backup is from 4.5 engine even though my nodes are on 4.4 as 4.5 keeps causing the catastrophic failure of my whole cluster.
