Add an option to import just DB and/or files #195

The psite-import command imports a single archive to create a site - including code. It would be nice to have an option to replicate the Workflow/Import tab where you can import just the DB and/or files to an existing site.

Interesting. Typically people just push databases directly and/or rsync files, which are both quite a bit quicker than sending up a tarball and then having Pantheon do the same.

Can you provide a little more context on your use-case? I am all for replicating the dashboard 100% (that's our party line) but I'd like to understand how you're running into this need on the CLI.

We are looking to import just the DB from a previous backup without having to download/upload the file. This is part of a migration process we're testing for 70+ sites, so we'd like to script it and have it be as efficient as possible.

So, the ideal flow for us would be:

  1. Get the source backup URL (use terminus to pass in the site ID, env, bucket, and specify "latest" or a particular backup)
  2. Pass that URL into psite-import-bucket with the target site ID, env, and bucket.

Hey @cboyden that makes a ton of sense. Thanks for providing the context.
