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 -

bup-tag(1) General Commands Manual bup-tag(1)NAME
bup-tag - tag a commit in the bup repository
SYNOPSIS
bup tag
bup tag <tag name> <committish>
bup tag -d <tag name>
DESCRIPTION
bup tag lists, creates or deletes a tag in the bup repository.
A tag is an easy way to retreive a specific commit. It can be used to mark a specific backup for easier retrieval later.
When called without any arguments, the command lists all tags that can be found in the repository. When called with a tag name and a com-
mit ID or ref name, it creates a new tag with the given name, if it doesn't already exist, that points to the commit given in the second
argument. When called with '-d' and a tag name, it removes the given tag, if it exists.
bup exposes the contents of backups with current tags, via any command that lists or shows backups. They can be found under the /.tag
directory. For example, the 'ftp' command will show the tag named 'tag1' under /.tag/tag1.
Tags are also exposed under the branches from which they can be reached. For example, if you create a tag named 'important' under branch
'computerX', you will also be able to retrieve the contents of the backup that was tagged under /computerX/important. This is done as a
convenience, and should the branch 'computerX' be deleted, the contents of the tagged backup will be available through /.tag/important as
long as the tag is not deleted.
OPTIONS -d, --delete
delete a tag
EXAMPLE
$ bup tag new-puppet-version hostx-backup
$ bup tag
new-puppet-version
$ bup ftp "ls /.tag/new-puppet-version"
files..
$ bup tag -d new-puppet-version
