Hi Idan,

  I certainly did select 'Export' before trying to import.

  I gave up trying and created a new Export Domain and copied the images and master directories from the old location into the new Export Domain.

I could then import my backed up VM's

Hi,

Just to make sure - when you tried to import the export domain, did you choose "Export" from the "Domain Function" field in the "Import Pre-Configured Domain" window?
You need to select this option in order to tell the engine that it is a special domain (export, in this case), and not a data domain.

Regards,
Idan

I'm now trying to import the 'old' export domain but I'm getting this message:

There is no storage domain under the specified path. Check event pane for more details.

I did see this in the logs if it helps at all:

dom_md/metadata file on the export NFS directory begins with

CLASS=Backup
DESCRIPTION=export

Any suggestions ?
