I think we had this issue for years now, but no-one ever complained,
and now you are the second one in just a few days! See the thread
"[ovirt-devel] oVirt 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade and Self hosted HE storage
migration". Yes, you can get the cluster/dc names from the backup. And
yes, I agree that you shouldn't have to - perhaps you'd like to create
a bug/RFE for this?

If you just want to see all cluster/dc tables data, you can do something like:

mkdir /some/tmp/dir
cd /some/tmp/dir
tar xpf /patch/to/backup
pg_restore -f - db/engine_backup.db | grep -E -i -A100 'copy
public.cluster|copy public.storage_pool' | less

If you have lots of data and that's not enough, and you need to
actually see the specific cluster/dc of your HostedEngine VM, it's
probably easier to just restore it to a DB. And that's probably
easiest to do by manually restoring the backup in some temporary VM
somewhere.

Good luck and best regards,
