So far for me - vProtect has been the easiest and most seamless to use,
along with having some other handy 'included' features (like the
application backup) and having a central server with remote nodes so you
can have one management server for multiple DC / Cluster environments.
Still uses snapshots and whatnot but does decent job at incremental and
once oVirt supports CBT im sure vProtect will jump straight on it for
better incremental with consolidation etc akin to big enterprise backup
like Veeam.

The biggest problem with these tools is that they are very
inefficient. To work they snapshot the VM then clone the snapshot
into a new VM, back it up then delete. This takes a lot of space and
time.
vProtect and some other enterprise backup software snapshot the VM and
stream the snapshot from the API without needing to clone or using a
proxy VM. The new version of vProtect even bypasses the API (because
it's slow) and now supports streaming over SSH directly from the
host. This is the ideal solution for oVirt VM backups imo, but I
don't know if any free tool exists that can offer the same functionality.

I am still using https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup but since
support for the v3 API will be removed with oVirt 4.4 it will stop
working with this release. For this reason I can no longer
recommend it
but it served me well the past few years.
There is also https://github.com/jb-alvarado/ovirt-vm-backup which
has
similar functionality but I have yet no first-hand experience with
this.
Hope this helps.
