Prepare to add this module to Aegir distribution

+1

I've had the feeling that this module could be called hosting_backup.

That would also leave room to include the functionality form provision_backup_platform.

We could merge in the code as a submodule in the 'hosting' repo, but it might be easier to add it to the hostmaster makefile. The aegir core team members already have commit access here.

As per #2180053: Include more "golden" contrib, we want to trim down the 'core' components of Hosting and Provision, but include more contrib modules in the Aegir distribution. This module is already a target for the 'golden contrib' initiative. I ran coder upgrade to start the 7.x-3.x branch, where we'll need to work to get this module ready for inclusion in Aegir 3.x.

As per #2300537: Merge Provision extensions into Hosting modules, merging https://www.drupal.org/project/provision_site_backup_manager would be a good step. Renaming the project 'hosting_backup_manager' might be a good step too.

@ergonlogic: you unfortunately missed one last commit of the 6.x-2.x branch. #2154813: Allow setting a backup window

I've now cherry-picked, and ran in through coder_upgrade.

I've done some cleanup and more D7 conversion, mostly nodeapi and db stuff.

Ans the provision code is now merged in again.

FWIW, I think #2186957: Overhaul the UI should be a priority when it comes to including this in the Aegir 3.x distribution. I've never been able to properly grok how backup retention currently works.

We added this module with the 7.x-3.0 release to the hostmaster makefile.
