If you need to create an exact copy of an existing VE, these are the steps to make.

# OLDVE=222 NEWVE=333 # Just an example
# vzctl stop $OLDVE
# mkdir /vz/root/$NEWVE
# cp /etc/vz/conf/$OLDVE.conf /etc/vz/conf/$NEWVE.conf
# mkdir /vz/private/$NEWVE
# pushd /vz/private/$OLDVE; tar c --numeric-owner * | tar x --numeric-owner -C /vz/private/$NEWVE; popd
# vi /etc/vz/conf/$NEWVE.conf # Change the IP_ADDRESS
# vzctl start $NEWVE; vzctl start $OLDVE

In case you are making bridge don't forget to change host_ifname=veth$OLDVE by host_ifname=veth$NEWVE in the /etc/vz/conf/$NEWVE.conf file
