I was just looking to upgrade my R1Soft from 5.8.0 to 5.8.1 to address the POODLE vunerability and I saw this little nugget:
"Server Backup Manager 5.8.1 now allows override of the VZ paths so that backups will work properly."
Holy cow, this is something I've been asking for forever. Does that mean we can finally backup OpenVZ correctly just like Virtuozzo?
