Ah, so that's where /home/vps comes in.

Thank you, so in my case /home/vps is what to backup... so the VMs need to be stopped to backup safelly or it can be running?
Yeah I reckon. Safer if they're stopped. I don't know if the 2 trees are identical while it's running - I'm learning by experimenting, if anyone knows, please tell!
I've been using vzdump --suspend and --snapshot for backups. It automates the stop/rsync/start process, and tries to minimise the container's downtime. Also I like the way a vzdump file has everything you need to start up the VE on another HN.
