hosted-engine-setup has to be run on the host.
engine-setup has to be run on the engine VM.
The DB restore from you previous setup has to be performed on the engine
VM. If you are using the ready to use oVirt engine appliance and you choose
to automatically execute engine-setup on your VM it will not wait for you
to replace the engine DB so you have just to avoid that and manually
execute engine-setup on the engine VM.
In this way you have all the time to perform your import.
