I went through this a couple months ago. Migrated my hosted-engine from one NFS host to another. Here are the steps that I documented from the experience. There is probably a better way, but this worked for me on two separate hosted-engine environments.

1. Make a backup of RHEV-M
2. Migrate VMs off all hosts that run hosted-engine (except hosted-engine itself)
3. Put hosted-engine hosts in maintenance mode (except host that's running hosted-engine)
4. Put hosted-engine in global maintenance mode
5. Shutdown hosted-engine
6. Stop ovirt-ha-agent and ovirt-ha-broker services on all hosted-engine hosts
7. On each hosted-engine host:
a. service ovirt-ha-agent stop
b. service ovirt-ha-broker stop
c. sanlock client shutdown -f 1
d. service sanlock stop
e. umount /rhev/data-center/mnt/<hosted-engine-share>
f. service sanlock start
8. mount new NFS share on /hosted_tgt
9. mount old NFS share on /hosted_src
10. Copy data (make sure sparse files are kept sparse):
a. rsync --sparse -crvlp /hosted_src/* /hosted_tgt/
11. Edit /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf and change path:
storage=10.1.208.122:/HostedEngine_Test
12. Make sure permissions are vdsm:kvm in /hosted_tgt/
13. umount /hosted_tgt
14. umount /hosted_src
15. Pick one hosted-engine host and reboot, then run:
a. hosted-engine --connect-storage (make sure the new NFS is mounted properly)
b. hosted-engine --start-pool (wait a few seconds then try again if you get an error)
c. service ovirt-ha-broker start
d. service ovirt-ha-agent start
e. hosted-engine --vm-start

I'd like to move my ovirt-engine VM to a new NFS storage.
I was thinking to adopt this workflow for this use-case (in combination with rsync to mirror the old storage).

Do you think this would succeed or is there another (and maybe "supported") way to move ovirt-engine to a different storage?
