If it's not OpenVZ/Virtuozzo, you can back it up and restore it fully by R1Soft/Idera.
If this is a one time thing, you can use CloneZilla.
rsync?
then if it was OVZ, are there some way to clone it ?
Ask your provider kindly to provide a vzdump?
Where do you want to backup? On the same HDD or on a remote location?
On OpenVZ you can rsync everything to another container and it will reboot fine, although you have to miss out some stuff like /proc afaik.
