Wait, do you want to copy a running container?  The /cgroup info is not
persistent, so if the container is shutdown then it's irrelevant.  If
the container is running, then criu takes care of checkpointing and
restarting that info.

So for a non-running container 'rsync --numeric-ids' should be fine.
Otherwise you probably want to be using lxd.  ('lxc move' will work
there for either case)
