Hi,

Im doing every night backups with rdiff-backup, im running rdiff-backup 
to the directory /vz/private, then im doing backups of each VPS in the HN.

Im thinking about a disaster recovery stratregy, if the disk of my HN 
crash, for example, can I just:
Re-install the same OS, install openvz, create the same VPS with the 
same VID and same IP address and just restore /vz/private/VID/* it will 
work?

rdiff-backup preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev files, 
permissions, uid/gid ownership, and modification times

Im doing dumps of mysql and postgresql, every night. Then I can restore 
the databases manually. Its not a problem
