[ovirt-users] reinstall hosted-engine with ovirt 3.5?

[Jiri Belka]

IIUC what you wrote, then there is backup available inside

Get the backup files from "old" engine VM, do fresh install
with ovirt engine appliance and restore DB.

is there a mechanism to import the appliance image into the hosted engine?
I am not sure how I would do this since I have no live access to my engine
DB.
