backupninja is a great tool and works well with vservers. it is available from
Riseup Labs [0], along with a few other tools, customised for debian (and
possibly also distros, can't remember).

backupninja is really just a control/config program for individual tools such as
rdiff-backup, duplicity, mysql-hotcopy, etc. it has many capabilities (i don't
use all of them), including use with vservers. this is done by running it from
the host machine (i've not tried running it from a guest).

i think that backupninja can be configured to take snapshots, but i'm not
entirely sure. depends on how exactly you configure it.
