Backup/restore/migrate nightmare...
To say short - I have on my local computer: 1. Tar.gz Aegir built-in backup files of sites (folders + sql) 2. Platform files
I created identical platforms by installing new vanilla Drupal and uploaded modules/themes/libraries, verification is ok.
How to restore sites to live Aegir server?
