[Users] Directory structure of VE on host

[Andrew Boag]

I'm running openvz on an ubuntu 8.0.6 server box. Working well and I'm 
really enjoying being able to script up new VE's when I need them.

I'm just trying to figure out the contents of /var/lib/vz (where I'm 
storing the VE's)

I see 'private' and 'root' which both look like the file system of the 
VE. (they contain the VE ID number, then what looks like the file system 
of the VE).

If I wanted to back up the file system of the VE (happy to stop the VE 
while the happens), what should I back up???

Or can someone explain the difference between private and root?

Cheers
