We have a request to provide a backup API and it is on the roadmap not
sure how soon we'll handle that.

Another feature you can find relevant (and will be available soon) is

Although far from perfect you can use live snapshot and then create VM
from that snapshot. (If you really want this on export domain you can
export the VM you created).
