Hello Qubers,
'Wyng' is a backup program I've been working on for a while that can
quickly backup "thin LVM" storage, the kind Qubes uses by default:

https://github.com/tasket/wyng-backup
Some ideas behind Wyng are:
* Backups shouldn't require re-scanning all data to find changes.
* Ability to push new backups to an archive indefinitely on a frequent
basis.
* Low exposure to risk for admin VMs like dom0.
* No special matching filesystem (Btrfs, ZFS, LVM, etc.) needed to store
the backup copy.
The intent is to enable similar use cases as OS X Time Machine does
(frequent, convenient backups) but for Linux and Qubes.
Wyng runs in the admin VM and deals with data volumes such as
"vm-personal-private" or "vm-fedora-30-root" at the block level. I
should point out that version 0.2 does not have a concept of backing up
and restoring whole Qubes VMs, as it doesn't process VM settings. If you
do not have many specific custom VM settings, this shouldn't be an
obstacle. However, Wyng does have special Qubes transport modes that
allow backing up data from dom0 to wherever via a VM.
The README at the above link has more info about Wyng's capabilities,
command line examples and the current beta testing status. If you have
questions, feel free to post here.
