[Users] Directory structure of VE on host

[Scott Dowdle]

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.
