NAME
       bup-init - initialize a bup repository

SYNOPSIS
       [BUP_DIR=localpath] bup init [-r host:path]

DESCRIPTION
       bup init  initializes  your  local  bup	repository.  You usually don't need to run it unless you have set BUP_DIR explicitly.  By default,
       BUP_DIR is ~/.bup and will be initialized automatically whenever you run any bup command.

OPTIONS
       -r, --remote=host:path
	      Initialize not only the local repository, but also the remote repository given by the host and path.  This is not necessary  if  you
	      intend  to back up to the default location on the server (ie.  a blank path).  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
	      bup init
