Hi, Migrating an engine between machines using engine-backup is unrelated to hosted-engine. For details about that, please see [1], especially the howto section.
In general, if you want to use a local database, you have to prepare it yourself prior to restore - engine-backup will not do that for you.

You are right that it is written for a case in which both old and new engines use the same remote database. This was done to simplify the howto, as dealing with the database is unrelated to hosted-engine, which is the subject of this howto. > The instructions as written will not work otherwise, because it presumes > a pre-existing database before running engine-backup restore. > > If somebody can confirm I can open a bug on the page.
