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

NAME

       bup - Backup program using rolling checksums and git file formats

SYNOPSIS

       bup [global options...] <command> [options...]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

       --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.
