database.sql file in site's root directory does not get deleted from remote web servers after site migrations

database.sql file in site's root directory does not get deleted from remote web servers after site migrations

The database.sql isn't being deleted after site migrations -- not from the remote web servers, but only from the Aegir server.

According to the task log:

...
Found database dump at /app/aegir/platforms/1.4/sites/example.com/database.sql.
Database dump at /app/aegir/platforms/1.4/sitesexample.com/database.sql is readable
...
Removed dump file /app/aegir/platforms/1.4/sites/example.com/database.sql after restoring from it
...

My questions are:

  1. Is this file needed on the remote web servers? Or can it be safely deleted? It appears in the the backup archives on the aegir server.

  2. Is there a feature in Aegir that we have not enabled that can delete this from remote web servers?

Need help?
