R1soft's CDP doesn't currently work on MySQL databases inside a Virtuozzo container.

Is there any backup software that offers the same kind of 'continuous data protection'?

An alternative to this would be a host that provided just MySQL hosting with CDP installed, if anyone knows of such a service this would be ideal.

Thanks in advance.

Well you need a modified kernel to perform such kind of things as "volume snapshotting" and it's not possible to modify the kernel when you are in a container. Although it is still possible to perform a hot backup of the MySQL DB if all your tables use InnoDB storage, check Percona's xtrabackup tool, it's exactly for that.
