Why not use libvirt? It even has a documentation on live backups:

I don't know if it's possible with plain qemu.
Because all libvirt stuff starts with "copy this XML file and

And because I need to understand the hardcore stuff before going the
soft way.

I'd like to move away from "another virtualization solution"

I've more or less all the needed bits in my hands in order to
define,
run and manage QEmu VMs.
What I am missing is the knowledge of how to backup a live VM.
Of course, if I shutdown the VM, I can simply copy its files
and the
startup script on another QEmu host.
But my main objective is to do the backup while the VM is running.
I think I could use the snapshot feature, but have no idea on
how to proceed.
Any hint?
P.S.
I am not going to use libvirt-based stuff. Just QEmu and KVM.
