I did and root.hdd and some other files came up
Then it's ploop, mount the device on a loop device and then mount it either with ext4 or XFS:
Can I do it from within an OpenVZ VPS or does the host need to do this?
Go get a KVM VPS, setup OpenVZ on it (http://openvz.org/Quick_installation) then vzdump --restore the tar file and you'll have the restored OpenVZ container in your KVM VPS. Just vzctl enter #### and you'll have access to your files.
