Well there is also https://github.com/vacosta94/VirtBKP (See
http://blog.infratic.com/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/) which is taking
an image based approach which I assume might be faster.
Again, I have not tried it myself.
I personally prefer to have an easy to restore VM on the export storage
to restore from, so I stick to the tools mentioned before.
But yes, the process takes a lot of space and time and your mileage may
vary.

That's what VEPA Backup is also doing and is widely used in the Enterprise.
It depends of the type of storage you use. For example , file-based
storage (NFS, Gluster) is easy - you can just copy the snapshot and then
delete.
Yet , for block-based storage the only working solution I have seen to
be working properly is the snapshot (VEPA backup) or it's clone to be
presented to a VM for accessing it.
I don't know about this vProtect , but ssh cannot be faster than a tar
over a tape or other media.
Of course, storage-based snapshots are the fastest , but they also
require space.

The biggest problem with these tools is that they are very inefficient.
To work they snapshot the VM then clone the snapshot into a new VM, back
it up then delete. This takes a lot of space and time.
vProtect and some other enterprise backup software snapshot the VM and
stream the snapshot from the API without needing to clone or using a
proxy VM. The new version of vProtect even bypasses the API (because
it's slow) and now supports streaming over SSH directly from the host.
This is the ideal solution for oVirt VM backups imo, but I don't know if
any free tool exists that can offer the same functionality.

I am still using https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup but since
support for the v3 API will be removed with oVirt 4.4 it will stop
working with this release. For this reason I can no longer recommend it
but it served me well the past few years.
There is also https://github.com/jb-alvarado/ovirt-vm-backup which has
similar functionality but I have yet no first-hand experience with this.
Hope this helps.
