If you search the net for e.g. 'ovirt backup vms', you can find lots of stuff -
actual tools, blog posts, mailing lists/forum discussions, etc.

Many of these were also mentioned/discussed on this list over the years, so
you can search also the list archives.

Personally I do not have experience with any of the tools, so can't comment.

If you need help with something specific you are trying to do - such as use
one of the existing tools, or use the api directly, etc. - then please provide
more details about what you are trying to do and what problems you run into.

Best,
