NAME

       bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship

SYNOPSIS

       bup server

DESCRIPTION

       bup server  is  the  server  side of a remote bup session.  If you use bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the -r option, they will ssh to the
       remote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.

       There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.

MODES

       smart  In this mode, the server checks each incoming object against the idx files in its repository.  If  any  object  already  exists,	it
	      tells  the  client  about  the  idx file it was found in, allowing the client to download that idx and avoid sending duplicate data.
	      This is bup-server's default mode.

       dumb   In this mode, the server will not check its local index before writing an object.  To avoid writing duplicate  objects,  the  server
	      will tell the client to download all of its .idx files at the start of the session.  This mode is useful on low powered server hard-
	      ware (ie router/slow NAS).

FILES

       $BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
	      Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above.  This file is not created by default in new repositories.

bup-join(1)						      General Commands Manual						       bup-join(1)

NAME

       bup-join - concatenate files from a bup repository

SYNOPSIS

       bup join [-r host:path] [refs or hashes...]

DESCRIPTION

       bup join  is  roughly the opposite operation to bup-split(1).  You can use it to retrieve the contents of a file from a local or remote bup
       repository.

       The supplied list of refs or hashes can be in any format accepted by git(1), including branch names, commit ids, tree ids, or blob ids.

       If no refs or hashes are given on the command line, bup join reads them from stdin instead.

OPTIONS

       -r, --remote=host:path
	      Retrieves objects from the given remote repository instead of the local one.  path may be blank, in which case  the  default  remote
	      repository is used.  The connection to the remote server is made with SSH.  If you'd like to specify which port, user or private key
	      to use for the SSH connection, we recommend you use the ~/.ssh/config file.

EXAMPLE

	      # split and then rejoin a file using its tree id
	      TREE=$(tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -t)
	      bup join $TREE | tar -tf -

	      # make two backups, then get the second-most-recent.
	      # mybackup~1 is git(1) notation for the second most
	      # recent commit on the branch named mybackup.
	      tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -n mybackup
	      tar -cvf - /etc | bup split -n mybackup
	      bup join mybackup~1 | tar -tf -
