One way is to generate a VM in oVirt with the right disk size and then
shut it down, shutdown your source VM on kvm and then dd the image over.
Try it with a small VM. It should work.
I have had good success with fsarchiver. Boot from systemrescue CD and
backup using fsarchiver and restore on oVirt.
