bup-save

NAME

bup-save - create a new bup backup set

SYNOPSIS

bup save [-r host:path] <-t|-c|-n name> [-v] [-q] [---smaller=maxsize] <paths...>

DESCRIPTION

bup save saves the contents of the given files or paths into a new backup set and optionally names that backup set.

Before trying to save files using bup save, you should first update the index using bup index. The reasons for separating the two steps are described in the man page for bup-index(1).

OPTIONS

-r, ---remote=host:path

save the backup set to the given remote server. If path is omitted, uses the default path on the remote server (you still need to include the ':')

-t, ---tree

after creating the backup set, print out the git tree id of the resulting backup.

-c, ---commit

after creating the backup set, print out the git commit id of the resulting backup.

-n, ---name=name

after creating the backup set, create a git branch named name so that the backup can be accessed using that name. If name already exists, the new backup will be considered a descendant of the old name. (Thus, you can continually create new backup sets with the same name, and later view the history of that backup set to see how files have changed over time.)

-v, ---verbose

increase verbosity (can be used more than once). With one -v, prints every directory name as it gets backed up. With two -v, also prints every filename.

-q, ---quiet

disable progress messages.

---smaller=maxsize

don't back up files >= maxsize bytes. You can use this to run frequent incremental backups of your small files, which can usually be backed up quickly, and skip over large ones (like virtual machine images) which take longer. Then you can back up the large files less frequently.

EXAMPLE

      $ bup index -ux /etc
      Indexing: 1981, done.
      
      $ bup save -r myserver: -n my-pc-backup /etc
      Reading index: 1981, done.
      Saving: 100.00% (998/998k, 1981/1981 files), done.
