Andrew, The private directory is the physical storage locateion. The root directory is where a container that is running mounts its private directory. If a container isn't running then the root directory will be empty.
So, you'd want to backup up the private directory. ----- "Andrew Boag" <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm running openvz on an ubuntu 8.0.6 server box.
