Hopefully in some future subversion of 4.2.

 I dont have an HA environment in my homelab.  I have 3 VM's and I wanted 
 to copy them to my backup r710 which runs oVirt 4.2.  I basically shut 
 down my VM, exported it to an export domain on my primary r710.  Then 
 detached the export domain on the primary.  On my "standby" r710 I 
 imported the export domain from the primary r710, attached, activated and 
 imported the VM.  Worked as expected.

 I'm assuming this is the correct way to do so.  I've tried Export to OVA 
 but that didnt work like I wanted and I didnt care to keep messing with 
 that option.

Yeah, that capability of exporting running VMs was discussed (and I even
started implementing it half a year ago [1]) but is not yet available.

Strange..   None of my VMs have the option of Exporting to either OVA or Export 
Domain.  It is grey'd out.  It would be awesome if I could do that with them 
running.

oVirt has proven itself a very very valuable product in my homelab.   Tickled 
to death to run this thing with a few forward facing sites, hosting my own 
cloud etc.

You should be able to do this without having to shut vm down
