NAME

bup - Backup program using rolling checksums and git file formats

SYNOPSIS

bup <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.
