Looking at the comparison table (https://wiki.openvz.org/Comparison)... there is a difference between OpenVZ 7 and Virtuozzo 7. For the "Integrated Backup" feature it says OpenVZ no and Virtuozzo 7 yes.

Having said that, in OpenVZ Legacy with ploop-based containers... it was fairly easy to do just by:

1) Make a snapshot
2) Act upon the snapshot in some way
a) Such as mount it read-only
b) rsync from the mount point for a file-based backup
c) unmount the snapshot
3) Merge the snapshot down

I would assume a similar strategy should work in OpenVZ 7 but I haven't tried it yet.
