NAME

6       bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bup server
10

DESCRIPTION

12       bup server  is  the  server  side  of a remote bup session.  If you use
13       bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the -r option, they will  ssh  to  the
14       remote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.
15
16       There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.
17

MODES

19       smart  In this mode, the server checks each incoming object against the
20              idx files in its repository.  If any object already  exists,  it
21              tells  the  client  about the idx file it was found in, allowing
22              the client to download that idx and avoid sending duplicate  da‐
23              ta.  This is bup-server's default mode.
24
25       dumb   In  this  mode, the server will not check its local index before
26              writing an object.  To  avoid  writing  duplicate  objects,  the
27              server will tell the client to download all of its .idx files at
28              the start of the session.  This mode is useful  on  low  powered
29              server hardware (ie router/slow NAS).
