This module extends the backup functionality of Aegir. It adds a tab to the site content type. The tab shows the backups and enables per backup actions (Restore, Delete and Get). There is currently, as far as we know, no similar plugin or module that adds this functionality to Aegir.

Sandbox page: http://drupal.org/sandbox/gerbenspil/1459830

Git clone command: git clone --branch 6.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/gerbenspil/1459830.git hosting_site_backup_manager

This module is only for Drupal 6 as Aegir is running on Drupal 6.

This is a nice addition to the Aegir platform.

The option to download a backup has been opted before, e.g. in #1047992: exportable backups

I have one concern about file permissions, which we've already discussed privately and filed under #1468444: File permissions on backups

I've become co-maintainer of this module.

All open issues have been resolved and I've ran in through ventral.org again.

Would I be able to promote this to a full project If I had 'Edit project' privileges?

To answer my own question: Yes.

And since I've just received that privilege, I've taken the liberty to promote.

Calling this fixed.
