Well, since Arch is a rolling release distro, you should just be able to upgrade to the latest version...
Be prepared to reinstall your OS template every few weeks/months too.
Wouldn't recommend arch on ovz due to kernel requirements. Otherwise, it is doable to update to latest.
Ovz sucks anyways
Why? Just update on installation.

Also looking for a good working arch template, haven't had success with the standard openvz provided template.. breaks after update...
I managed to get Arch to update to latest (at least as of last Saturday, anyway) and work on openvz, however it is a big kludge. I can't recommend Arch on OpenVZ to anyone but the most hardcore Arch fans

...and from experience, it would break frequently too, once it was going. Then the user would ask for their data. Ended up being too much of a hassle to carry an OS template that broke itself.
Has absolutely no OpenVZ templates at all.
Has absolutely no OpenVZ templates at all.
Fail.
oh really?, i didn't know that . my apologies
@Damian hopefully whoever is hardcore enough to use Arch would be smart enough to take frequent backups, or at least a backup before applying updates.
ROFL.
FWIW, I'd only use Arch on a fully virtualized instance- and you should expect it to break frequently.
One would think... on the other hand, i'd find support tickets with "omfg I did pacman -Syu and then it wouldn't come up after being rebooted!" and then i'd look at their filesystem manually and find that most of /bin was missing -_-
