Ciao Christian,
theoretically you could run engine-backup on the current engine VM,
redeploy from scratch on the new storage domain and before running
engine setup, inject there the backup.

Unfortunately we know that is not that simple:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1240466#c21
and you have to manually remove any reference to the previous
hosted-engine storage domain and hosted-engine VM from your restored
DB since they are locked in the engine and so you couldn't remove from
there.

Improving engine-backup to automatically filter hosted-engine
references is an RFE for 4.1.
