Ok, I only need to backup root folder.

Hmm... I will check and test, I do not get cleary how to get back the 
containers.
Is this correct: supose I have backuped vz/root/$CID and /etc/vz/$CID.conf and 
the CT0 server is stolen. I get a new hardware computer and I have a fresh 
Linux instalation from scratch. To restore a CT I only need to place the 
backup files (vz/root/$CIT and /etc/vz/$CID) to it's directory on the new 
server? Or I should do something else or similar to "vzctl create"?
There's no need to restore the CT session with the dumpfile, a halt and boot 
it's acceptable.
