NAME

       bup-ls - list the contents of a bup repository

SYNOPSIS

       bup ls [-s] [-a]

DESCRIPTION

       bup ls lists files and directories in your bup repository using the same directory hierarchy as they would have with bup-fuse(1).

       The  top  level	directory  contains the branch (corresponding to the -n option in bup save), the next level is the date of the backup, and
       subsequent levels correspond to files in the backup.

       When bup ls is asked to output on a tty, it formats its output in columns so that it can list as much as possible in as few lines as possi-
       ble.  However, when bup ls is asked to output to something other than a tty (say you pipe the output to another command, or you redirect it
       to a file), it will output one file name per line.  This makes the listing easier to parse with external tools.

       Note that bup ls doesn't show hidden files by default and one needs to use the -a option to show them.  Files are hidden  when  their  name
       begins with a dot.  For example, on the topmost level, the special directories named .commit and .tag are hidden directories.

       Once you have identified the file you want using bup ls, you can view its contents using bup join or git show.

OPTIONS

       -s, --hash
	      show hash for each file/directory.

       -a, --all
	      show hidden files.

EXAMPLE

	      bup ls /myserver/latest/etc/profile

	      bup ls -a /

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
