Hi Leeno, It theory that should work, but obviously you will lose all changes made since the dump was taken. If any new VMs have been created, they will get purged by the system etc.
I would highly recommend splitting the DB and the Management Server, and if possible add a 2nd instance of each.

I have only one management server. 2. Management server is not functioning now but 'cloud' database dump is available in backup. CS version was 4.1.0 Hosts were Xenserver 6.1.0 3. DB server was on same machine where management server installed. Now I am planning to do a fresh install of CS 4.1.0 and restore cloud database with old installation dump, which is available in backup. Will it work?
