It would be ace if we could push from one hostmaster to another. Hostmaster service for 'remote' servers maybe?

Even if there were instructions for how to do it from the command line in a help page in Aegir, that would be an improvement.

The normal way of doing this through the commandline would be with a backup + deploy, a bit like what is described in #1260124: Deploy a new site from a backup... but I agree that having this in the frontend would be useful.

Anarcat and I were discussing this the other day and came up a solution based on: #1047992: exportable backups and #1138882: Support drush archive-dump. The idea would be that you can point to an obfuscated URL for a backup and, à la remote makefiles in platform creation, Aegir will fetch the backup, and build the new platform, then import the sites.

That would be great. Nice wizard esque interface on top of it all would be great I think.

Actually being able to pull from remote servers would be much, much more powerful, and actually I think possible using the existing provision framework. I'm going to work on coding up a contrib solution, and then will try to get that into Aegir proper later.
