Description
----------------------------------
This script allows you to mass import site backups created from an Aegir install.  It basically does this: 
http://community.aegirproject.org/node/117

How it works
--------------------------
You copy the backups from your previous aegir install to a location similar to /var/aegir/tmp/migrate.
This script will migrate any tar.gz file that is located in the migrate directoyr.


How to use it
-------------------
1. Copy your backup files to your migrate directory (probably /var/aegir/tmp/migrate)

2. Edit the script and change the variables:

_TMPFOLDER - This is where all your backup.tar.gz files are located.  This needs to be an absolute value
 without a traliing backslash.  Example" "/var/aegir/tmp/migrate"

_INSTPROFILE - This is the install profile you want the sites to be under.  Normal drupal installs are "default".
 Open Atrium's value would be: "openatrium"

_PLATFORM-  use the command "drush sa | grep platform" to see what platforms are available on your aegir system.
 They will look something like:"@platform_drupal6"
 include @ before it

_BACKUPYEAR - This is just what year the backups where created int.  Example:"2011"


3. Run the script.

NOTE: Run it AS YOUR AEGIR USER

su -s /bin/bash aegir #switching to your aegir user
bash aegirimportbaskups.sh #run the script


4. Verify the platform you imported all the backups to inside the Aegir web UI


NOTES
-----------------------
If your using this with Octopus (https://github.com/omega8cc/nginx-for-drupal), your going to want to put the backup files in your octopus users directory and not in /var/aegir/.  So if your octopus user is o1, your tmp directory will probably be "/data/disk/o1/tmp/migrate" and you will need to change the top of the script (step 2 above) to reflect that.  You will also want to run the script with your o1 user instead of your aegir user.
