nightly backup script (aegir_backup.sh ) works and stores backups in the /aegir/backups directory but i would like to change the backup directory to different place as i run another cron job which deletes backups which are older then one week .As it also deletes all backups which are done by users through normal site backup through aegir front end. i would like to change the nightly backup location so that the backups created by users wont get deleted.
can any one help me to do this.
thanks

There currently is no way to do this that I know of - the provision-backup command fetches the backup_path parameter is fetched from the server's drush alias file. If you modify this (via editing the backup_path field on the server node in the frontend), this will affect the path where regular manual backups are placed too. So I don't think we can separate them at this stage.
