[vserver] How to rebuild/reimport

Hello,

I have inherited a bunch of legacy Linux systems based on both the VSERVER and OpenVZ solutions, which I had never used before. Before going any further, I must mention that I really enjoy working w/ your solution.

After several months of getting my hands dirty doing several manipulations and getting acquainted with both services, I am now required to do several more advanced manoeuvers, hence this email/call for help.

Before asking, yes, I have went thru http://linux-vserver.org more specifically http://linux-vserver.org/Building_Guest_Systems && http://linux-vserver.org/util-vserver:Howto_virtualize_an_exisiting_Linux_server yet I wasn't able to find my answer. I've also asked google, ofc.

Consider the following:

As we can clearly see, vserver-stat shows 6 VPS up. However there are much more than 6 under /vservers/. My problem is that I need to restore one of them (advs1).

I would like to know what is the easiest route to take as I need this host(advs1) back up to troubleshoot some other problem elsewhere in our network.

Thanks in advance,
