The migration from 4.3 to 4.4 is done by the same method... It always worked 
but for major version upgrade there is a strict requirement which version the 
backup was done.
Even if it doesn't work - a fresh engine can still recover the VMs by importing 
the storage domain (no VM snapshots are allowed), yet other settings might be 
lost (VM networks, users,etc)

Also, I forgot to mention that with GlusterFS, you can create a snapshot as a 
point in time recovery (shut down the engine first as it has a DB) on the 
Engine's volume.
Happy Holidays!

Well, you can shut down the engine (don't forget the global maintenance), yum 
update, reboot -> the host is updated
Then wait for ovirt-ha-agent & ovirt-ha-broker to bring the engine up.Global 
maintenance, wipe the storage (assuming NFS/GlusterFS is used) or at least 
rename the subdirectory to something different.Restore from backup and it 
should be back as new.
