Support a living export (similar to a live snapshot) will be added in

We have a request to provide a backup API and it is on the roadmap not
sure how soon we'll handle that.
Another feature you can find relevant (and will be available soon) is
creating VM from snapshot.
Although far from perfect you can use live snapshot and then create VM
from that snapshot. (If you really want this on export domain you can
export the VM you created).

Currently taking a snapshot and exporting a suspended VM is not supported.

Very soon (in a few weeks), we'll have live snapshot which enables taking a snapshot
while the VM is running, hope this helps.
