NAME
bup-init - initialize a bup repository
SYNOPSIS
[BUP_DIR=localpath] bup init [-r host:path]
DESCRIPTION
bup init initializes your local bup repository. By default, BUP_DIR is
~/.bup.
OPTIONS
-r, --remote=host:path
Initialize not only the local repository, but also the remote
repository given by the host and path. This is not necessary if
you intend to back up to the default location on the server (ie.
a blank path). The connection to the remote server is made with
SSH. If you’d like to specify which port, user or private key to
use for the SSH connection, we recommend you use the ~/.ssh/con-
fig file.
