sure. you can back it up, then restore in another engine. you can also do this piecemeal at vm level. one note - if you back it up while its attached to an engine, you will need to edit its meta data file to remove the association to allow the other engine to connect it to the new pool for restore.
correct me if i'm wrong... 1. detach my export domain 2. copy directory structure from nfs export to external disk 3. reinstall ovirt system 4. copy directory structure from external disk to new nfs export 5. create new export domain in engine ...but... on #5 step my new engine returns: "Error while executing action New NFS Storage Domain: Error in creating a Storage Domain. The selected storage path is not empty (probably contains another Storage Domain). Either remove the existing Storage Domain from this path, or change the Storage path)." What am I doing wrong?

don't try to create a new export domain, rather import an existing one (import domain button, not new domain button)
