[Users] Backup export domain

["Saša Friedrich (BiTLAB)"]

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?
