I've copied containers using rsync before, loosly basing my actions on this wiki, http://wiki.openvz.org/Physical_to_container, as the process is quite similar for containers. I've always excluded /dev /proc/ /sys. I recreated dev and sys by copying the files from a precreated image of the same distribution and it worked.

i have to admit, those machines are not what i would call very stable, but it works more or less.

ps: rethinking the whole thing again - u should be able to use /dev and /sys from your backup!
