I can take this (may be) what is the best way to implement this - use
optimal copy function tight with storage backend? Or create generic
variant that utilize vol download/upload and transfer data via local
libvirt daemon?
Before digging into implementation of a new functionality we should
check if the functionality is not already there. I mean - that 'virsh
vol-create-from' or libvirt.virStoragePool.createXMLFrom() or
virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom() - they should serve exactly what you need.
Don't they?
If not, then yes - we might focus on adding new API for that.
