Not at this moment, and this is not planned for the future, afaik. Did you play with the other SDK examples etc suggested during this thread? May I suggest that this is best done as a plugin/contribution to a backup solution, not standalone. I guess most sites with more than a few hosts use some such solution - FOSS (amanda/bacula/backuppc/etc) or proprietary (netbackup/backupexec/acronis/etc) - and backup of VMs (ovirt or other) should be handled in this scope. Searching the net I manage to find [1] and [2], which might be what you want. Note that I never tried any of them myself.
