Actually, Matt, you can do that with vservers too.  Rsync while live, shut down the vserver, rsync again (just to be safe), start it up on the new vserver.

I *really* like vservers for development space and testing.  The isolation is very cool, and the ability to blow away a vserver and replace it with a new one from the template is handy.

even if the other server has completely different hardware (# processors etc.) can you do that?

Sure can.

Of course, you need a vserver-enabled kernel to do it, but I've moved vservers between P4's, Athlon XPs, Durons, Celerons (ugh), etc.
