i don't remember the exact process of the top of my head, but it should 
be either:
1. restore db, then install ovirt (exact same version by re-using the
    db.
2. install ovirt, restore the db over it, and fix some config entries to 
correctly map the new certificates.

then just remove hosts and re-add them to generate new certs for them 
(or just move them to maint and re-install them via the link that should 
appear in the general subtab)
