NAME

6       bup - Backup program using rolling checksums and git file formats
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bup [global options...] <command> [options...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       bup  is  a  program for making backups of your files using the git file
13       format.
14
15       Unlike git(1) itself, bup is optimized for handling huge data sets  in‐
16       cluding  individual  very  large files (such a virtual machine images).
17       However, once a backup set is created, it can still be  accessed  using
18       git tools.
19
20       The individual bup subcommands appear in their own man pages.
21

25
26       -d, --bup-dir=BUP_DIR
27              use  the given BUP_DIR parameter as the bup repository location,
28              instead of reading it from the $BUP_DIR environment variable  or
