It's a very bad idea because you'll get an inconsistent image of filesystem. Also it isn't limitation of Panel, but libvirt itself.

Or shutdown VM or do backup within VM OS/software.

No you could snapshot with libvirt and then make a backup.

So based on this: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2013-February/msg00098.html

We are using LVM to take a snapshot from the Logical Volume and copy the machine to a backup storage.
