Stop most of the processes -- as much as you can, leaving just init and
sshd -- and do rsync.

Something like this should work (from your own server):

# mkdir /vz/private/200
# rsync -aH --progress root@x.x.x.x:/ /vz/private/200/

Then create a VPS config:
vzctl set 200 --applyconfig vps.basic --save

Then try to start your new VPS:
vzctl start 200

Next step is to resolve the issues that might arise. As an example: a
VPS may be failed to start because it tries to set up system time (which
is usually forbidden in a VPS). So what you need to do in this very case
is to disable or comment out the code which sets the system clock. Since
this is usually shell code it should not create any problem.

Regards,
Kir.
