bup - Backup program using rolling checksums and git file
formats
bup [global options...] <command> [options...]
bup is a program for making backups of your files using the git
file format.
Unlike git(1) itself, bup is optimized for handling huge data sets
including individual very large files (such a virtual machine images).
However, once a backup set is created, it can still be accessed using git
tools.
The individual bup subcommands appear in their own man pages.
- --version
- print bup’s version number. Equivalent to bup-version(1)
- -d,
--bup-dir=BUP_DIR
- use the given BUP_DIR parameter as the bup repository location, instead of
reading it from the $BUP_DIR environment variable or using the default
~/.bup location.
- bup-fsck(1)
- Check backup sets for damage and add redundancy information
- bup-ftp(1)
- Browse backup sets using an ftp-like client
- bup-fuse(1)
- Mount your backup sets as a filesystem
- bup-help(1)
- Print detailed help for the given command
- bup-index(1)
- Create or display the index of files to back up
- bup-on(1)
- Backup a remote machine to the local one
- bup-restore(1)
- Extract files from a backup set
- bup-save(1)
- Save files into a backup set (note: run “bup index”
first)
- bup-web(1)
- Launch a web server to examine backup sets
- BUP_ASSUME_GIT_VERSION_IS_FINE
- If set to true, yes, or 1, assume the version of git in the path is
acceptable.
