I have read this page:

https://wiki.openvz.org/Ploop/Backup#Image-based_backup

Unfortunately, it just says:

# Perform a backup using your favorite backup tool
# (cp is just an example)
cp $VE_PRIVATE/root.hdd/* /backup/destination

This would copy the $VE_PRIVATE/root.hdd directory, which contains an ever growing delta file as changes are made inside the container.

Why would we need to back this up?
