ovirt_engine_history is DWH database. So I think you miss
--provision-dwh-db parameter.

  --provision-db                     create a PostgreSQL database for
the Engine on restore
  --provision-dwh-db                 create a PostgreSQL database for
Data Warehouse on restore
                                     If provisioning databases, this
option will default.
  --provision-all-databases          on restore, create a PostgreSQL
database for all the
                                    databases that were included in the
backup
