NAME

       bup-ftp - ftp-like client for navigating bup repositories

SYNOPSIS

       bup ftp

DESCRIPTION

       bup ftp is a command-line tool for navigating bup repositories.	It has commands similar to the Unix ftp(1) command.  The file hierarchy is
       the same as that shown by bup-fuse(1) and bup-ls(1).

       Note: if your system has the python-readline library installed, you can use the <tab> key  to  complete	filenames  while  navigating  your
       backup data.  This will save you a lot of typing.

COMMANDS

       The following commands are available inside bup ftp:

       ls [-s] [-a] [path]
	      print the contents of a directory.  If no path argument is given, the current directory's contents are listed.  If -a is given, also
	      include hidden files (files which start with a . character).  If -s is given, each file is displayed with its hash from the bup  ar-
	      chive to its left.

       cd dirname
	      change to a different working directory

       pwd    print the path of the current working directory

       cat filenames...
	      print the contents of one or more files to stdout

       get filename localname
	      download the contents of filename and save it to disk as localname.  If localname is omitted, uses filename as the local name.

       mget filenames...
	      download	the contents of the given filenames and stores them to disk under the same names.  The filenames may contain Unix filename
	      globs (*, ?, etc.)

       help   print a list of available commands

       quit   exit the bup ftp client

EXAMPLE

	      $ bup ftp
	      bup> ls
	      mybackup/    yourbackup/

	      bup> cd mybackup/
	      bup> ls
	      2010-02-05-185507@   2010-02-05-185508@	 latest@

	      bup> cd latest/
	      bup> ls
		(...etc...)

	      bup> get myfile
	      Saving 'myfile'
	      bup> quit

NAME

       bup-restore - extract files from a backup set

SYNOPSIS

       bup restore [--outdir=outdir] [-v] [-q]

DESCRIPTION

       bup restore extracts files from a backup set (created with bup-save(1)) to the local filesystem.

       The specified paths are of the form /branch/revision/path/to/file.  The components of the path are as follows:

       branch the name of the backup set to restore from; this corresponds to the --name (-n) option to bup save.

       revision
	      the  revision of the backup set to restore.  The revision latest is always the most recent backup on the given branch.  You can dis-
	      cover other revisions using bup ls /branch.

       /path/to/file
	      the original absolute filesystem path to the file you want to restore.  For example, /etc/passwd.

       Note: if the /path/to/file is a directory, bup restore will restore that directory as well as recursively restoring all its contents.

       If /path/to/file is a directory ending in a slash (ie.  /path/to/dir/), bup restore will restore the children of that directory directly to
       the  current directory (or the --outdir).  If the directory does not end in a slash, the children will be restored to a subdirectory of the
       current directory.  See the EXAMPLES section to see how this works.

OPTIONS

       -C, --outdir=outdir
	      create and change to directory outdir before extracting the files.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase log output.  Given once, prints every directory as it is restored; given twice, prints every file and directory.

       -q, --quiet
	      don't show the progress meter.  Normally, is stderr is a tty, a progress display is printed that shows the  total  number  of  files
	      restored.

EXAMPLE

       Create a simple test backup set:

	      $ bup index -u /etc
	      $ bup save -n mybackup /etc/passwd /etc/profile

       Restore just one file:

	      $ bup restore /mybackup/latest/etc/passwd
	      Restoring: 1, done.

	      $ ls -l passwd
	      -rw-r--r-- 1 apenwarr apenwarr 1478 2010-09-08 03:06 passwd

       Restore the whole directory (no trailing slash):

	      $ bup restore -C test1 /mybackup/latest/etc
	      Restoring: 3, done.

	      $ find test1
	      test1
	      test1/etc
	      test1/etc/passwd
	      test1/etc/profile

       Restore the whole directory (trailing slash):

	      $ bup restore -C test2 /mybackup/latest/etc/
	      Restoring: 2, done.

	      $ find test2
	      test2
	      test2/passwd
	      test2/profile
