Hi Derek,
I do not think we support snapshots of the hosted engine VM at the
moment. There would be no way to restore from snapshot anyway in case
of failed upgrade (no engine would be running).
Please use the standard backup/restore procedures for the engine:

Best regards

Ovirt seems to assume in many cases that there are multiple hosts around
so you can manipulate one host while the engine is running on another,
etc.
But in the single-host case.... how do you take a snapshot of the hosted
engine? When I click on Virtual Machines -> HostedEngine and then below
click on Snapshots and then Create, I get an error:
HostedEngine
* Cannot create Snapshot. This VM is not managed by the engine.
So... How can one snapshot the engine (e.g. prior to updating it)?
