NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       bup server

DESCRIPTION

       bup  server  is the server side of a remote bup session.  If you use bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the
       -r option, they will ssh to the remote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.

       There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.

MODES

       smart  In this mode, the server checks each incoming object against the idx files in its repository.   If
              any  object  already  exists, it tells the client about the idx file it was found in, allowing the
              client to download that idx and avoid sending duplicate data.  This is bup-server’s default mode.

       dumb   In this mode, the server will not check its local index before writing an object.  To avoid  writ‐
              ing  duplicate  objects,  the server will tell the client to download all of its .idx files at the
              start of the session.  This mode is useful on low powered server hardware (ie router/slow NAS).

FILES

       $BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
              Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above.  This file is not created by default in new reposi‐
              tories.
