You can mount the snapshot to another VM and copy the image. We will be adding a image download option in oVirt 4.1.

Hello, in 4.0.5 if you select "Virtual Machines" tab and then "Snapshots" subtab you can do clone of the snapshot into a new VM: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvRjJUSEhMM3dveG8/view?usp=sharin...
I tried and it worked. Or did you mean anything different? You can't do it on the "Current" line (the Active VM) but if the VM is stopped you can instead do a "Clone VM" from the VM line.... Gianluca
