I see that you already have a gerrit.ovirt.org, so it shouldn't be
difficult. The initial setup should be like this:

  $ git config --global user.name youruser
  $ git config --global user.email your@email
  $ git clone ssh://youruser@gerrit.ovirt.org:29418/ovirt-engine-sdk
  $ gitdir=$(git rev-parse --git-dir); scp -p -P 29418
youruser@gerrit.ovirt.org:hooks/commit-msg ${gitdir}/hooks/

Then, to submit the patch:

  $ cd ovirt-engine-sdk
  $ Edit the vm_backup.py file, and make your changes.
  $ git commit -a -s
  $ git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
