The most useful result of this is you can\nbackup huge virtual machine (VM) disk images, databases, and XML\nfiles incrementally, even though they're typically all in one huge\nfile, and not use tons of disk space for multiple versions.\n\nIt uses the packfile format from git (the open source version\ncontrol system), so you can access the stored data even if you\ndon't like bup's user interface.\n\nUnlike git, it writes packfiles directly (instead of having a\nseparate garbage collection / repacking stage) so it's fast even\nwith gratuitously huge amounts of data. bup's improved index formats\nalso allow you to track far more filenames than git (millions) and\nkeep track of far more objects (hundreds or thousands of gigabytes).\n\nData is \"automagically\" shared between incremental backups without\nhaving to know which backup is based on which other one - even if\nthe backups are made from two different computers that don't even\nknow about each other. You just tell bup to back stuff up, and it\nsaves only the minimum amount of data needed.\n\nYou can back up directly to a remote bup server, without needing\ntons of temporary disk space on the computer being backed up. And\nif your backup is interrupted halfway through, the next run will\npick up where you left off. And it's easy to set up a bup server:\njust install bup on any machine where you have ssh access.\n\nBup can use \"par2\" redundancy to recover corrupted backups even if\nyour disk has undetected bad sectors.\n\nEven when a backup is incremental, you don't have to worry about\nrestoring the full backup, then each of the incrementals in turn;\nan incremental backup acts as if it's a full backup, it just takes\nless disk space.\n\nYou can mount your bup repository as a FUSE filesystem and access\nthe content that way, and even export it over Samba.\n\nStatus:\n\nVendor Tag:\tTNF\nRelease Tags:\tpkgsrc-20110516\n" module: pkgsrc subject: 'CVS commit: pkgsrc/sysutils/bup' unixtime: '1305553976' user: wiz
