If you guys are interested, I have updated the tool to work with 
systemctl/enginedb and tested under Fedora 16:

Here my use:

# mkdir /engine-backup-db
# chmod +x engine-db-tool.py

backup manually
=============
  ./engine-db-tool.py --backup --path=/engine-db-backup
Stopping jboss-as service...
Backuping database: 
/engine-db-backup/dump_RHEVDB_BACKUP_2012-04-03-15:05.sql
Starting jboss-as service...
Done


restore manually
=============
# ./engine-db-tool.py --restore 
--path=/engine-db-backup/dump_RHEVDB_BACKUP_2012-04-03-15:05.sql
Stopping jboss-as service...
Restoring database: 
/engine-db-backup/dump_RHEVDB_BACKUP_2012-04-03-15:05.sql
Starting jboss-as service...
Done


Crontab
=======
# crontab -e  (adding to my crontab user)

# Every day 18:00 backup db
00 18 * * * /path-to/engine-db-tool.py --backup --path=/engine-backup-db
