provision-deploy
The below had worked as of 0.4-alpha7. Replace the pertinent parts with your specific data.
As aegir user:
$ drush --root='/var/aegir/platform/destination_platform' provision-deploy 'example.com' '/var/aegir/backups/example.com-20100429.085003.tar.gz' --backendFollowing this command verify the destination platform in the aegir frontend which will then import the site.
A new site node will be created for this imported site which will be different from the original site. The site will retain the original database name.
thank you
i am getting this error . did i miss anything
The command 'drush.php provision-deploy example.com /var/aegir/backups/example.com-20100429.085003.tar.gz' could not be found.
Thanks
drush
Are you able to run drush as aegir user?
On Ubuntu: /usr/bin/php /var/aegir/drush/drush.php
In your command shown above you have not specified the Drupal root directory to use.
Also, how are you creating your backup?
thank you

i was able to restore the site using this command . it was really helpful. thank you
nope
This links to support request at http://drupal.org/node/905386 and the solutions given in both of these discussions do not work for me. Not sure if this related to changes in Aegir and Drush, or if there's something wrong with my setup. The arguments suggested in this discussion don't appear to be at all understood by more recent versions of Drush / Aegir.
OK, as soon as I posted that
OK, as soon as I posted that I found a solution someone else posted at http://pastie.org/pastes/1212973. Here we go:
# start by creating and adding the platform
# then create an alias, you can find the platform alias somewhere in /var/aegir/config, that's what you use instead of 'platform_drupal6':
php /var/aegir/drush/drush.php provision-save @example.com --context_type=site --platform=@platform_drupal6 --uri=example.com
# and do the import
php /var/aegir/drush/drush.php @example.com provision-deploy --debug /var/aegir/platforms/example.com-20100911.012602.tar.gz
Thank you!
I couldn't get any of the previous commands to work either, but this solution you posted works for me also. Something must have changed in recent versions of provision.
The last version worked for
The last version worked for me. Be aware that you need to provide an absolute path to the backup file!
