look through the /etc/vz/conf/VEID.conf files and see where containers' files really are.

in my case:

VE_ROOT="/vz/root/$VEID"
VE_PRIVATE="/home/vps/650"

/vz is a symlink to /home/vz i hope as mentioned in first post

I only back up the private tree on my CTs.. the root tree seems to be a working copy that disappears when the container is stopped. So far seems ok.

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?
