Try looking at the RHEV info here and go to section 6.2.2 and see if that helps. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.0/... ________________________________________ From: Jeremy Tourville <jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com&gt; Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 2:26 PM To: Robert Webb; users(a)ovirt.org Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone OK, I was able to get the backup completed. I am a little confused on how to do the restore though. https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Backing_up_and_Resto... Is this link even applicable? My environment is a single node, not EL based. Anyhow, here is what I have so far- [root@engine glusterfs]# engine-backup Start of engine-backup with mode 'backup' scope: all archive file: /var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup log file: /var/log/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log Backing up: Notifying engine - Files - Engine database 'engine' - DWH database 'ovirt_engine_history' Packing into file '/var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup' Notifying engine Done. [root@engine glusterfs]# I moved the backup file to my new engine. How do I perform the restore? The directions say: # engine-backup --mode=restore --file=file_name --log=log_file_name --provision-db --provision-dwh-db --restore-permissions What is the file name and log_file name? Do I need to do something to unpack my backup file? ________________________________ From: Robert Webb <rwebb(a)ropeguru.com&gt; Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 9:13 AM To: jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com <jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com>; users(a)ovirt.org <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; Subject: RE: [ovirt-users] Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone Can you take a backup of the original, build the new one, then do a restore? > -----Original Message----- > From: jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com <jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com&gt; > Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 10:11 AM > To: users(a)ovirt.org > Subject: [ovirt-users] Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone > > I have a single oVirt host running a self-hosted engine.
