it is ploop image file. dunno how backup is consistent but maybe you are lucky.
documentation regarding this:
https://wiki.openvz.org/Ploop
in general:
Quote:
ploop mount /ploop.image
Since this point, /dev/ploopXXXX is operable. One can read/write any data from/to it (e.g. with "dd"), manipulate partition table on it (with parted, since ploop uses GUID Partition Table, or GPT), format it with mkfs.ext4 and mount it on some mount-point. In the other words, since now /dev/ploop0 can be used as any other ordinary block device.
if you will have some problems I recommend you contact paid support if it covers questions like this:
http://www.odin.com/support/virtualization-suite/openvz/
or any other company which knows ploop quite well.
