Trying to import an Aegir backup to new server

Question

I've been following the instructions http://community.aegirproject.org/content/importing-existing-aegir-backups/ on how to import a site.

I have the backup .tar.gz from another hosting provider on my server but I cant get the drush command to run?

When I check the drush sa for the platform it does not get listed but in the aegir admin it show up under platforms?

Should I be running the drush command in a specific directory? I have been using /var/aegir/hostmaster-7.x-3.9/sites/aegir.domain.name

Regards

Keith

Answer 1

After trying many directory's the correct one to run appears to be /var/aegir/platforms

The drush sa now lists the installed profiles and the drush provision-save ... and drush provision-deploy ... now run.

Answer 2

You should be able to use the drush alias for hostmaster here:
drush @hostmaster sa

You may need to switch to the aegir user first.
