Hi,

I have a problem running backup task with aegir on a Solaris :

Could not back up sites directory for drupal
An error occurred at function : drush_provision_drupal_provision_backup

The command tar -C /var/aegir/drupal-6.15/sites/mysite.test.org -p -c -z -f /var/aegir/backups/mysite.test.org-20100121.144102.tar.gz . doesn't work.

It seems that we should use those 2 commands instead :

tar cpf /var/aegir/backups/mysite.test.org-20100121.144102.tar . -C /var/aegir/drupal-6.15/sites/mysite.test.org
gzip /var/aegir/backups/mysite.test.org-20100121.144102.tar

Obviously for restore, the same problem will happen.

Is there a way to customize those commands ?

Thanks,

The commands cannot be customized, but we can certainly make them more portable, I'll look into this.

the previous one was apparently backing up the whole platform instead of just one site. seems like gnu tar doesn't like solaris' tar argument order, ugh.

so i just chdir instead of screwing around with -C.
