[ovirt-users] Restoring backed up VM

[santosh]

Hi

I am trying to backup and restore the VM using the flow suggester at 
Features/Backup-Restore API Integration 
<http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration#VM_Backup.2FRestore_suggested_flows>

When I tried to restore the VM using the following steps,


_*Full Virtual Machine Restoration*_

 1. Create disks for restore
 2. Attach the disks for restore to the virtual appliance (Restore the
    data to it)
 3. Detach the disks from the virtual appliance.
 4. Create a vm using the configuration that was saved as part of the
    backup flow - (added capabillity to oVirt as part of the Backup API)
 5. Attach the restored disks to the created vm.

I encountered following error at step 4.

    <fault>
         <reason>Operation Failed</reason>
         <detail>[Import VM failed - _*VM Id already exist in the
    system*_. Please remove the VM (RHEL_65_CL1_CLONE2) from the system
    first]</detail>
    </fault>


I have not deleted/removed the backed up VM from the system.

Is it expected behaviour?
Should it not overwrite the existing VM or Create new VM with different 
VM Id, if the backup up VM exists?


Thanks, Santosh
